Our Permanent Exhibitions

Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives

What's Work Worth?

Examining relationships between work, worth and gender, short films, objects and audio installations stimulate reflection on the biases we all carry.

New Voices, New Relationships

Old Gaol

Explore the former men's and women's cell blocks and the stories they hold through interactive immersive experiences. These walls can talk!
