Using MIA's collection, along with historical scripts and objects from the exhibition, children and parents will explore the artefacts that tell the story of this rich trading tradition. In addition, families will also engage in hands-on activities with organic spices, learning about their origins, uses and aromas. Experience a fun and educational day filled with history, discovery and sensory exploration!
