Immerse yourself in a 180-degree visual experience depicting Australia’s unique flora and fauna, collected by Sir Joseph Banks on HMB Endeavour in 1770.
Beauty Rich and Rare is a 20-minute digital work of art that uses maps, journals and other documents from the Endeavour voyage to re-create the wonder experienced by Banks and the botanists, scientists and illustrators on that extraordinary adventure. From the first landing at Botany Bay to the last landfall in Australia’s far north, Banks and his companions captured Australia’s beautiful, rich and rare flora and fauna in meticulous detail and collected it in great volume.
Beauty Rich and Rare is on at the Museum of Sydney from 7 December 2024 to 30 March 2025.
Beauty Rich and Rare is an original exhibition by AGB Creative. Commissioned by the National Library of Australia.
