PUFFINALIA

From August 11 to 31

Penguin Books invites you to
Celebrate 70 Years of Puffins

Academy of Design,
220 Ingles St Port Melbourne, 3207
9 to 5 weekdays, Tel. 9676 9000

Puffins were born in the UK in 1940. The first Australian Puffin was published in 1963.

This exhibition celebrates ALL Puffins, especially the ones loved by Australian children.

Every Puffin in this exhibition has been borrowed from an Australian home, and was cherished by its readers. Most of them have been very well-loved and very well-read indeed.

We hope you’ll take time to visit this exhibition and rediscover your favourite Puffins!
