Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country Curator Tours

Join exhibition co-Curator, Dr Penny Stannard for a special tour of the exhibition Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country.

Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country explores the development of the NSW colony through a selection of significant historical maps, plans, sketches, artworks and objects – including the first land grant issued in the colony – from the Museums of History NSW and other institutional collections, alongside picturesque colonial landscape prints from the collection of Beat Knoblauch. Inscribed over this colonial perspective is an innovative artistic intervention by designer Alison Page that layers First Nations understandings of Country. 

The tour will explore the stories behind the significant historical maps, plans, sketches, artworks and objects on display, offering a deep insight into the rich cultural and historical layers of the exhibition.
