24.01.2022 Joint Winner Projects Over $150,000 On The Move, Temporary Exhibition: Sydney Living Museums ON THE MOVE is a highly interactive intergenerational family exhibition that takes the audience on a journey of exploration around Australia discovering fascinating facts about different modes of transport, inventions and the amazing people behind them. From the supersonic vehicles of the present to pioneering prototypes from the past, and new innovations that will redefine how we tra...vel in the future, ON THE MOVE celebrates the way in which transport captures our imagination. Created in partnership with Australian illustrator James Gulliver Hancock ON THE MOVE is the sixth in a series of popular family-friendly exhibitions developed by Sydney Living Museums (SLM), demonstrating a commitment to providing interactive educational experiences for visitors of all ages. The exhibition primarily aimed to facilitate fun, cross-generational interaction and education for carers and children, ranging from early learners to mid-primary school age. Through vivid illustrations and immersive and interactive stations visitors of all ages were encouraged through play based learning to: *navigate the complexities of a metropolis transport networks *consider the importance of sustainable transport choices and renewable fuel *rethink the process of inventing and the significance of trial and error in driving innovation *discover and explore the evolution of modes of transport and image what they might be like in the future! The exhibition also continues a long tradition of SLM exhibitions, aiming to deepen visitor connection with Sydney and their surrounds and to prompt new ways of seeing, thinking about and exploring where they live and further afield to other cities or places. https://interpretationaustralia.asn.au//2020-/on-the-move/

23.01.2022 Winner: Creativity In A Crisis Mission to Mars: Questacon The National Science and Technology Centre (A Division of the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources) Questacon Mission to Mars reinterpreted and physically transformed our hands on science centre into an immersive hands free experience, allowing visitors to see our building, exhibits and performers like never before. The COVID safe product is a new guided experience that takes visitors o...n a journey from Earth to the red planet. Drawing on the performance and interpretation talent of our visitor-facing staff, the tour explores the science of this fascinating planet and the challenges humanity will need to overcome if we are ever to visit Mars. What are the medical risks of space travel? How will humans survive in Mars’ inhospitable atmosphere? Is there liquid water on Mars? What is below the surface of the planet? Why is Mars so similar to Earth and yet so very different? From the launch of the rocket to the eventual touch down on the surface of the red planet, visitors are guided through selected Questacon exhibitions and enjoy a range of immersive learning experiences to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be the first humans on Mars. The journey concludes with a spectacular visit to our impressive seven metre Mars globe, suspended in the inner gallery on the ground floor. This experience leaves our visitors with one final question would you go to Mars? https://interpretationaustralia.asn.au//2/mission-to-mars/

16.01.2022 Joint Winner Projects Over $150,000 Songs of Home: Sydney Living Museums Songs of Home tells the little-known story of music played and enjoyed in NSW during the first 70 years of the colony. It focuses on how people constructed a sense of home and place through music and also marks the initial intersection between the musical cultures of the First Nations people and colonists, reflecting on what this means in a contemporary context. Surprising, moving, entertaining â the... fascinating world of music in early NSW is revealed here for the first time as a place of melodious complexity. The exhibition was the culmination of almost a decade of research, musician and scholarly collaborations and exploration of intangible heritage in SLM house museums. https://interpretationaustralia.asn.au//202/songs-of-home/

08.01.2022 Revolution in Real Time, 6:00 a.m. April 19, 1775 The alarm has been spreading all morning, as minute and militia companies continue to arrive in Concord. Conco...rds two minute companies and two militia companies were soon joined by two companies from Lincoln. More men were on the way from Bedford and Acton. Not long after daybreak a scout, Reuben Brown, returned to Concord with news that he spotted the regulars in Lexington, and that shots were fired. Unfortunately, when pressed further, he could not tell if they were firing "ball" (live ammunition) or if anyone had been killed. #VirtualPatriotsDay #MinuteManNHP #FindYourPark See more

04.01.2022 GA2020 COVID-19 STATEMENT 3 Australia ICOMOS and the GA2020 team continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and extend their best wishes to ICOMOS members,... their families and to the global cultural heritage community. Australia ICOMOS is regrettably not able to host the ICOMOS General Assembly in Sydney in October 2020. The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has reluctantly reached this decision in view of current restrictions and uncertainties about when social and economic life and international travel will return to normal in Australia and worldwide. Australia ICOMOS will host a marker event in October 2020 to acknowledge the enormous support and goodwill shown towards planning GA2020. The form of this event (which may occur online) is yet to be determined. Australia ICOMOS is currently considering whether it can offer to host the General Assembly in 2023. This is a complex exercise and a final decision will be made and announced during May 2020. In the meantime, the GA2020 registration process has been suspended, interested parties are being advised, and preparatory activities for 2020 have now ceased. Australia ICOMOS acknowledges the difficulties that ICOMOS faces in holding its required statutory meetings in 2020, and also that these difficulties will need to be resolved at the International level. Australia ICOMOS will continue to place the health and safety of delegates and ICOMOS and venue staff at the forefront of our decision making. We will continue to follow the advice of the World Health Organisation and to comply with the requirements of the Australian Government. Australia ICOMOS remains committed to supporting and enriching the global work of ICOMOS.

04.01.2022 Curator Matt Jones considers how we choose material for an exhibition and the decision of where and how a work is displayed, by comparing two images of Governme...nt House in our upcoming exhibition, Australian Dreams: Picturing our Built World. Through these historical depictions, Matt also explores how we can gain valuable insight into Australias early built environment.

02.01.2022 What a great resource! Victoria University researchers are building the countrys first archive of resources that alters the current colonial bias of how Austra...lias Aboriginal political history is understood. The Aboriginal History Archive (AHA) comprises thousands of rare photos, videos, campaign ephemera, press clippings, and manuscripts that document the countrys Black Power and self-determination movements, and other key events. Since 2017, this valuable material has been carefully digitised and categorised for an online database with the support of the Australian Research Council.

01.01.2022 Pretty obvious where we were this morning. Wonderful inhabitants!

01.01.2022 Some great stories for inspiration about the work others have done!
