The time difference between Western Australia and the Eastern States isn't always a bad thing! We got up this morning to the exciting news that we'd been shortlisted for the Museums & Galleries National Awards, otherwise known as the MAGNAs.
Our shortlisting is in the permanent exhibition category and is for our Virtual Museum: to be known and distinguished as Carnamah. The winners of each category will be announced at a function during the national conference of Museums Australia, which is being held later this month in Launceston, Tasmania.
Our virtual museum is our simple but effective way of sharing some of our collection and history with online audiences who are beyond the physical reaches of Carnamah. It was made possible thanks to financial support from the Department of Culture and the Arts. It can be viewed online at: www.virtualmuseum.com.au
We're honoured to reveal that there's a Carnamah cover on the Jul-Aug 2013 edition of Inside History magazine! The cover's illustration comes from one of the many items digitised to be part of our recently expanded Virtual Museum on our website.
Check out our online Business Houses exhibition to discover the image in its original format.
This is an indirect and exciting outcome of a project funded by the Department of Culture and the Arts aimed at sharing and promoting more of our collection to broader audiences. The project included the creation of six new virtual museum exhibitions on our website:
