Wildlife Photographer of the Year
Reconnect with nature
Powerful wildlife photography focuses our attention on the beauty and fragility of the natural world
From the Natural History of Museum in London, this exhibition features over 100 exceptional images which capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.
Using photography's unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year is the most prestigious photography event of its kind, providing a global platform that showcases the natural world’s most astonishing and challenging sights. The competition receives over 50,000 entries from all over the world.
The Australian National Maritime Museum is Australia’s national centre for maritime collections, exhibitions, research and archaeology.
The museum presents a changing program of stimulating exhibitions and events to share Australia’s maritime history and connect the stories, objects, people and places that are part of our country’s narrative.
Custodians of Floating Historical Vessels
The museum has one of the largest floating historical vessel collections in the world, featuring the renowned replica of Captain Cook’s HMB Endeavour, the replica Duyfken, the first known European vessel to visit the continent, the former Navy destroyer HMAS Vampire, the former Navy patrol boat HMAS Advance and former Navy submarine HMAS Onslow. Docked at the wharves, visitors can climb aboard to explore life at sea.
Exhibitions and Permanent Galleries
The museum's permanent and temporary exhibitions and their National Maritime Collection explore and represent Australia’s close links to the sea covering Indigenous Australian’s deep connection to ocean, early exploration, immigration, commerce, defence, adventure, sport, play and identity. From fascinating artefacts, thought-provoking exhibitions and fun activities for kids (and big kids), the museum gives visitors a chance to connect to Australia’s maritime past and present in surprising ways.
