The NSW Branch of Australiana held on the 1st May and sell out full day event at the State Library of NSW.
We visited;
The Charles Rodius exhibition and marvelled at two recently purchased images by the Library, one of which has not been seen by the public before.
They Made Them a Long Time Ago – first nations art, tools and weapons taken from country and believed to be mainly from the Sydney basin area.
Shot – the new photographic gallery which provides a glimpse into the extensive collection held by the Library.
Visited the grand and beautiful picture gallery.
After lunch we spent a considerable time in the “Stacks” the many floors of storage below ground exploring the delights of what is in storage.
Thank you to the 5 curators who took us through each section of the State Library and shared their knowledge, love and passion for this extraordinary collection in Macquarie Street Sydney. A brilliant day!
