Join the National Gallery each month for a free talk for parents and carers with babies in arms.
Let your baby play with tactile materials on the rug and encourage their sensory curiosity as you connect with other parents and caregivers through discussions with National Gallery Curators about art and ideas.
Breastfeeding and bottle feeding are welcome throughout the Gallery, and a Parents Room is available on Level 1. There is easy pram access (including lifts) and infants may be carried in a soft baby carrier on the front or back.
This program is not suitable for babies who are walking or very active crawlers.
