Museum Moves

Start your day with an downward-facing dog among the dinosaurs.

Overview

Ever wonder what goes on at the museum before it opens? Turns out it's less like Night at the Museum, and more like the inside of a yoga studio. That's because, from July 18, Melbourne Museum is opening its doors for a series of workout classes from 7.30–9am. Using the surrounding museum environment, exercise instructor and choreography assistant Jo Lloyd will be leading classes of 20 people through yoga, dance and aerobics.

In an effort to use the museum space for more than just slow shuffling, BalletLab has developed this hour-long class for all fitness levels. A healthy breakfast is included in the $35 ticket too (if you like to be rewarded for all physical exercise — and rightly so). So you can start your day in Warrior II with the dinosaurs, climbing stairs like the insects in the Bug Lab, or stretching like the squids and sharks.

Museum Moves will take place on July 18, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27 from 7.30am. If you'd like to return after dark, the museum is also running a series of adults-only parties on Friday nights.
