Now that I'm back in Brisbane, I wanted to take some time and write a reflective piece on the AMaGA 2022 Conference. It would be an incredibly long post if I summarised the whole conference. Instead, I've decided to write about three presentations that fall under the conference theme - Hear. Us. Now. To start, … Continue reading AMaGA 2022 Conference Summary
This is my second post on Fremantle Prison. If you want to read any history of the Prison, or the tours I did last weekend, then click here. This post is going to focus solely on the behind the scenes tour I went on yesterday evening as part of the Australian Museums and Galleries Association … Continue reading Fremantle Prison – Behind the Scenes
Wadjemup, or Rottnest Island, is located off the coast of Perth and a short ferry ride from Fremantle. If you are taking the ferry from Perth you do have the opportunity to tour part of the Swan River which I highly recommend. Throughout this blog post I will be referring to the island as Wadjemup … Continue reading Wadjemup (Rottnest Island)
I am so excited to share with you one of the tours I went on today at the Fremantle Prison. I did two tours of the Prison and while one was great from a history-discovering perspective, the other was a stand-out. More on that later. Like with most heritage blog posts I've done over the … Continue reading Fremantle Prison
As promised, here is the blog post on the Art Gallery of Western Australia! After my morning at the Museum, I wandered over to the Art Gallery (stopping to pat three dogs along the way) for a relaxing afternoon. Similar to Brisbane, I love how there is this cultural precinct where you can go and … Continue reading Art Gallery of Western Australia
Yesterday I visited both the WA Museum Boola Bardip and Art Gallery of Western Australia. They definitely deserve their own blog posts so I'm going to start with the Museum. The WA Museum Boola Bardip is one of six museums owned by the overarching Western Australia Museum network. The new building only opened in November … Continue reading WA Museum Boola Bardip
This year the Australian Museums and Galleries Association national conference is being held in Perth. I had to take this opportunity to visit Western Australia and visit some amazing cultural heritage and institutions. I haven't left my home state of Queensland for over two years so this is going to be an extra special trip. … Continue reading Kings Park and Botanic Gardens
I've been looking for an opportunity to post about this conference but in light of 'gestures to everything' haven't really found the time or headspace to do so. Now I'm at the start of an extremely busy but productive and (hopefully) fun week. I feel inspired to take a moment and reflect on this conference … Continue reading MuseumNext Digital Learning Summit
Last night, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Museum of Brisbane's (MoB) new exhibition, City in the Sun, with the South East Queensland Registrars Network. We were so fortunate to have a Curator-led tour through the exhibition presented by Miranda Hines. MoB is a wonderful museum in the heart of Brisbane, located in … Continue reading Museum of Brisbane: City in the Sun
On Saturday, I visited the Van Gogh Alive immersive experience here in Brisbane. Although not strictly an art gallery, I decided it was worth a review considering its role as a digital art experience that focuses on immersion rather than displaying 'authentic' artworks. What I mean by this, is you won't see an original Van … Continue reading Van Gogh Alive
