Exhibition now showing
4 April to 12 May 2019, free, daily except when workshops in progress
Take a closer look at eight of the Museum’s most interesting and significant objects. See the metallic thread running through a war bride’s dress, the Arabic script for ‘oil’ on a legendary car, the nail in the paw of the long-gone thylacine. These small details have big stories.

The Museum has partnered with a range of artists and arts organisations as well as our curatorial team to bring the stories of these objects to life through talks, poetry and music.
Will today’s pop-up be a curatorial talk? A poem inspired by the collection or a musical interlude?
