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!
