Exhibitions 2019

UNDERWORLD: Mugshots from the Roaring Twenties - Explore more than 130 candid and compelling mugshots taken by New South Wales Police between 1920 and 1930, unlike any found elsewhere in the world.

This exhibition marks the launch of the newly published book “Flora of the Hunter Region - Endemic Trees and Larger Shrubs”.

On the 30th anniversary of the 1989 earthquake, five years on, this exhibition’s stories are still what I believe that we as a city should remember.

Using objects from the National Archives of Australia, ASIO and other security organisations, the exhibition brings the stories of spies out of the shadows and into the light.

These never-before-seen images dating from 1857 to 1893 have been printed from the Australian Museum’s collection of glass plate negatives.

Microsculpture presents insects like never before.
