Our building and the collections it holds are all treasures! In this virtual learning session we heard from the curatorial team behind the new Treasures Gallery exhibition as they shared some of their favourite items on display and discussed the stories they hold.

Topics covered in this session included key moments in our democratic history, snapshots of Australian life, learning about family history through precious heirlooms, pioneering female aviator Freda Thompson, selections from our Asian Collection, how the Wiggles are preserved through our Web Archive, and of course books, which are at the heart of our collection.  

Participants had the opportunity to ask questions, observe closely, and learn some research basics as they were guided through this diverse exhibition which will spark curiosity.

Participants joined a live zoom webinar and were able to contribute to the conversation and ask questions of a member of the Exhibitions team, Nicole Schwirtlich.  
 

The Treasures Gallery is open daily from 9am to 5pm and entry is free.
