Tuesday Video Curatorials

12:00pm

Museum of the Great Southern


We are very happy to have Tuesday Curatorials recommence each Tuesday in a new format.

There will be two video curatorial sessions that will be run at 10:30am and then repeated at 2:30pm.

Until the end of June, Malcolm Traill will introduce the sessions and be available for questions afterwards.

These sessions are limited to 25 people at each, and you will need to book by calling the Museum of the Great Southern’s Reception on 9841 4844.

Entry will be a gold coin donation, and no refreshments will be available. Looking forward to seeing you there.
