INNOVATIVE LIVING EXHIBITION Links to Region’s History at Newcastle Museum

intouch Magazine

Newcastle’s Indigenous history will be brought to life with a series of native tree plantings designed to create a living interpretation of Newcastle Museum’s exhibitions.

 

The “Living Labels” project will transform four sections of Museum Park into an attractive and educational natural landscape that incorporates trees and shrubs relating directly to objects within the Museum’s collection. The project is supported by funding from Create NSW.


Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the trees would provide a living connection between the natural landscape and the stories of our past.


“This project creates a tangible link between the Museum’s exhibits and our living world, offering a new way to interpret and understand Newcastle’s geography and history,” Cr Nelmes said.


“Creating green open spaces, supporting the local Aboriginal and creative communities and facilitating opportunities for lifelong learning are priorities under City of Newcastle’s Community Strategic Plan, which are being imaginatively brought to life through the Living Labels project.”


Materials from the plantings will be harvested periodically for use by the local Aboriginal and creative communities.
