Burrinja Kids - Stay and Play
Burrinja aims to be a welcoming environment for families to engage with the arts in a practical and affordable way, throughout the year. Developed by Burrinja in collaboration with local artists, ‘Burrinja Kids… Stay and Play!’ is an exciting initiative that invites children and families to engage with art through a range of hands-on activities. The program celebrates the Burrinja exhibition program by creating interactive avenues to ignite the imagination and creativity of our young patrons.
A quarterly rotation of family focused activities inspired by the Burrinja main gallery exhibition program will be made available in the Burrinja foyer between usual opening hours, Wednesday to Saturday 10.00am to 4.00pm.

This stylish book presents beautiful illustrations of rare stone carvings of the Tolai on the Gazelle Peninsula, East New Britain in Papua New Guinea. It is the first volume presenting the entire collection of 90 objects in the McLeod Collection, Yarra Ranges Council.
The carvings are associated with the secret Ingiet men’s society, one of two among the Tolai. The society was outlawed by the German colonial administration in 1905 due to rumours of sorcery and ‘black magic’.
“This Burrinja catalogue is a welcome addition to the sparse literature on the Tolai stone figures called variously Ingiet, Iniet or Iniat). With short essays by Harold Gallasch and J.D. Mittmann, field photographs by the collector Neil McLeod, and helpful maps, this is an excellent catalogue for the 90 stone figures in the collection. All are professionally photographed and the catalogue is attractively designed.”
