Did you know that the Maritime Museum has a diverse range of touring exhibits available?
Our expert museum team of curators, designers and educators have been creating and building touring exhibits for over 20 years. Designed to share the museum experience with communities and organisations around Australia and internationally. We tour panel displays, exhibitions and artworks featuring objects from the National Maritime Collection, interactive exhibitions and unique outdoor exhibits like Container. Some of the fascinating topics explored include ocean science and innovation, maritime archaeology, art history, Indigenous cultural history, immigration and naval history.
Whether you have a small space or a larger venue, our touring exhibitions are suitable for community groups and cultural institutions.
Timings and availability
Due to popular demand, some larger exhibits may be booked out 2-3 years in advance, so we recommend enquiring with us about availability early in your planning. Smaller displays can often be booked at short notice, though - just ask! Please be aware that there may be additional security and environmental requirements for some exhibitions.
