Australian Museum - Shark Exhibition & The 2022 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year

 
Australian Museum
 
For 450 million years they’ve dominated Earth’s oceans.
Today, their existence has never been under more threat.
Submerge yourself in the world of Sharks! In this immersive blockbuster exhibition created by Australian Museum experts, visitors will go back in time to meet sharks’ ancient ancestors, come face-to-face with an 8m-long Whale Shark, and uncover their extraordinary adaptations with interactive displays, touchable specimens and objects from the AM collections. With cultural connections reaching back countless generations, visitors will discover how First Nations’ and Pasifika Peoples’ knowledge of sharks can help us protect them.
With rising temperatures, industrial fishing and oceans choked by pollution, sharks are in great danger. Our attitudes and our actions will decide the fate of these ancient survivors – do you dare to dive in?
Come on in, the water’s fine.
You’ll see...
Life-size shark models ranging from 50cm Epaulette Shark to the 8m Whale Shark,
Augmented reality interactives where you can play with a Whale Shark or explore the contents of a shark’s stomach,
Real, touchable shark specimens from the Australian Museum collection,
Plenty of jaw-some stuff for kids and families!
Experience this brand-new exhibition first in Sydney before it tours the world!

Immerse yourself in the beauty and fragility of the natural world in the 2022 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year exhibition.
Featuring 100 photographs by 74 photographers, the exhibition showcases an amazing array of animals and landscapes from the bioregion of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and the New Guinea.
The images highlight the skill and timing of wildlife photographers, who venture into remote landscapes, often in extreme temperatures and brutal conditions, to capture their award-winning shots.
This year, seven young photographers are celebrated in the Junior category.
The connection between animals and humans – sometimes destructive, sometimes companionable – is explored in the portraits of the Urban Animals, Threatened Species and Our Impact categories.
The 2022 competition also features a new category – Astrophotography, where the subject of the photograph must be the night sky.
The exhibition will run alongside Sharks. Combined, these two exhibitions paint a captivating picture of the grandeur of our natural world and the impact of human and built environments.
