We have a mix of permanent exhibitions and temporaries. Usually the temporaries run for between 6 and 18 months. Shorter form shows are called internally called 'displays' and run for up to 6 months. Then there are 'public programs' which can be anything from 1 day to a 6 months. These range from special events to 'festivals'.

New exhibitions are usually timed to launch with the major holiday periods so the next one we have coming up in December is a 12 month temporary called The 80s Are Back focussing on the pop culture of the 1980s.

Mid year we do Sydney Design Festival which brings a number of smaller-scale design-flavoured exhibitions.... Read More

We also aim to turn over objects in the permanent exhibitions on a semi-regular basis.
