MINE! Memories from Childhood

MINE! and i want it NOW!

Opening tonight, Wednesday 4 June 5:30pm  by Julie Baird Deputy Director Newcastle Museum, is our exhibition of objects connected with childhood.

 

The students in the Certificate IV Library, Information and Cultural Services - specialising in Museums and Galleries, have curated this exhibition featuring a bewildering range of toys, objects, games, books and other objects all associated with childhood. 

 

Fittingly for the project the objects are, mostly, old, antiques and fabulous. It is a perfect exhibition to test your memory of 1960s footy cards, Romper Room and Tonka toys.

 

And be sure to be here for our special guest Big Dog from 6- 6:30pm. The opening will have to finish by 7:30pm because that is bedtime, right Big Dog?

After the Fire

This exhibition opens on 22 March between 2 and 4pm and features the photographs of TAFE Photomedia teacher James Murphy. The photographs document the devastation wrought by the bushfire that swept through Catherine Hill Bay and Nords Wharf last November.

The exhibition will be open to view between 19 March and 4 April, Wednesday to Saturday.
