The Birds of Australia
The Australian Museum & Regional Galleries of NSW
Immersive Film Exhibit
The Birds of Australia, brings to life the iconic bird illustrations of John and Elizabeth Gould together with First Nations storytelling and knowledge showcased on a 3D storytelling cube.
Interestingly, John Gould, despite being a conservationist, enjoyed shooting everything he found – from albatross to emus, to wrens. Regardless of his actions, he lamented the loss of species resulting from the colonisation of Australia.
