Presented by the Western Australian Museum in association with the Friends of the Western Australian Museum.

Join us for a lively series of community presentations that focus on passionate collectors in WA and the special joys of collecting.

We’ll be bringing together some of WA’s keenest collectors to share the meaning of their collection and offer a special opportunity to see their best loved objects!

Inspired by A History of the World in 100 Objects exhibition, we are asking individual WA collectors to choose their collection highlights for a 102 presentation: ten objects in ten minutes! Join us to share insights into the hidden local treasures of many private collections.
