Hey Melbourne/Naarm mates, may we suggest you add this exhibition to your holiday must-do list?!⁠
⁠
After more than two years of research, planning, conservation and construction, Our Wondrous Planet – the most expansive science and biodiversity gallery in Museums Victoria history - has opened⁠
at @MelbourneMuseum.⁠
⁠
Spanning 1,800 square metres across the first floor, the breathtaking multi-sensory gallery will showcase four different biomes: reef, rainforest, ice and soil - ecosystems which all play a major role in the vitality of the living, thriving global systems on our intricate planet.⁠
⁠
Soar through a lush rainforest canopy, traverse the globe on swirling atmospheric currents, connect to root networks under the soil and come face to face with beautiful creatures preserved in time.⁠
⁠
In the reflective First Peoples-led space, Our Roots, visitors will feel a sense of care, reciprocity and connection to Country and nature, while Our Moment is an interactive multi-media space encouraging visitors to work together to address ecological problems facing our planet.⁠
⁠
Our Wondrous Planet shows that everything in nature’s dynamic living network is truly intertwined, and every single person can make a difference.⁠

“It means a great deal to me that Australians from all walks of life celebrate the beauty of our art. Wearing it on your skin – literally showing up in it – expresses not only solidarity, but an affinity with our people. My heart literally does a little skip when I see someone walking by in an Atyene garment.”⁠
⁠
Filmmaker @RachelPerkinsAu is renowned for bringing Indigenous stories to the screen. Now, she’s shifting her focus to fashion with @AtyeneClothing, the label she launched at the @DarwinArtFair in 2024. A proud Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman with German and Irish heritage, Rachel partnered with Indigenous artists from @UtopiaArtCentre in Arlparra Homeland and Iltja Ntjarra (@ManyHandsArt) in Alice Springs, both trailblazing art centres in the Northern Territory. ⁠
⁠
“I chose these art centres for my first collection because of the sublime works they create, but also as they are my ‘countrymen’, as we say: [they’re] from the Central Desert, like me!”⁠
