We've (now) been to GoMA too!


The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) opened in Brisbane only about 5 years ago, but it is incredibly popular and is apparently a lot of fun for kids (like Eli and I). So we recently headed off to find out what all the fuss is about...


The room that most people talk about is the one where you get a page of colourful circle stickers at the door and you can contribute to the art by adding stickers wherever you see fit...it is pretty cool. Eli particularly liked the handiwork of some of his contemporaries who had clearly seen fit to try and make a blue section on the floor...he also decided that he'd like to souvenir one of the blue stickers for himself - no point 'wasting' a perfectly good blue sticker in that room!



The highlight of our visit was another room though. One that was red with white spots which featured large inflattable shapes and some well placed mirrors. Eli had us going back again and again....here's some photos and a video (on it's side - sorry! let's just pretend I was being really arty!) of Eli enjoying the mirrors and spots!




Eli also liked some of the audiovisual displays - his penchant for funny faces and gibberish (see earlier posts) meant that he really liked this one!



All in all it was well worth the visit and we're glad to have caught up with the rest of Brisbane.
