Beauty Rich and Rare

Touring Exhibition
Originally created for the National Library of Australia, is a stunning contemporary interpretation of Sir Joseph Banks’ exploration of Australia’s natural history. From the moment they enter, visitors are enveloped in Beauty, Rich and Rare. In a darkened room, the breathtaking images unfold on a five-panel screen measuring 20 by 2.5 metres*; surrounding the audience in its 180-degrees. The visual storyline is narrated by renowned Australian personality Angela Catterns. Using modern digital techniques to interpret real artefacts from the collection, Beauty Rich & Rare captures the imagination of the audience; the show helps them to experience the same wonder that the HMB Endeavour’s passengers and crew once felt on their historic journey. Visitors of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds will be inspired by the extraordinary accomplishments of these courageous people from the Age of Enlightenment, whose curiosity and daring took them to Australia 250 years ago. *the exhibition can be adapted to fit additional sized screens

THEMES:

• Biodiversity
• Cartography

Josephine’s Garden

Touring Exhibition
A story of French fascination with Australia’s most treasured natural resources. Josephine’s Garden is an immersive sound and light experience with a curated narrative that uses visual storytelling to share a little known story about Joséphine de Beauharnais and the garden she established at Château de Malmaison containing plants and animals from Australia. This exhibition documents the extraordinary plant and animal life found in Australia and the amazing tales of transporting kangaroos, emu’s and black swans across the globe and into
the garden of Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is a story told from a little known perspective and one that has left an indelible mark on both countries.

THEMES:

• Soft Diplomacy
• Biodiversity
• Indigenous Australia
• Women in the age of French Enlightenment/Reason.

Treasures Illuminated

Curation
AGB Events was originally engaged to project a series of images and animation of the 200 treasures of the Australian Museum onto the external façade of the historic institution.

The effect was stunning and the Australian Museum decided to extend the treatment to the internal Long Gallery to help engage audiences.

To showcase the 200 Treasures and story of the Westpac Long Gallery, AGB Events worked within the confines of the heritage interior to create a unique solution that used the floor as a projection surface of the Westpac Long Gallery. AGB’s Digital team animated the Australian Museum’s collection onto this unique canvas, creating a narrative of associations throughout the assets.

The Gallery was transformed from a traditional exhibition space to a dynamic immersive experience for visitors.

THEMES:

• History
• Digital Storytelling
• Exhibition Curation

The popular light festival will return home in April to showcase the oldest continuous cultures on Earth through the latest technology against the incredible MacDonnell Ranges – a 300-million-year-old natural canvas.
