"The National Museum of Australia has just opened the most significant
redevelopment in its history.
Costing $25 million,
Great Southern Land weaves 2,000 objects into a natural
and cultural history to show how the Australian continent has influenced and
been impacted by human decisions.
The new gallery provides a place to share and explore ideas about Australia and
our place in it, and to consider what actions might be necessary to ensure the
nation’s future.
The exhibition is beautiful and sophisticated. Quiet where it needs to be quiet
and boisterous and fun-loving in other parts, it engages all our senses as we
gaze in wonder at the life-sized orca models suspended from the ceiling and
squint to see the tiny fragments in display cases at knee level.
It is a pivotal moment in the ongoing life of the museum, and the nation."
Share and enjoy,
