GEORGESRIVERCOUNCIL

ForewordAt Hurstville Museum & Gallery, we love bringing exhibitions from all across Australia to our Georges River locals. We’re excited to present The Many Story Treehouse Exhibition: Celebrating Terry Denton’s illustrations for the phenomenal Treehouse series by Andy Griffiths & Terry Denton, a Books Illustrated touring exhibition. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this in-depth look into the development of this popular series, and the fun and quirky illustrations created by Terry Denton.

With the 2020 Summer Olympics taking place this year, we’ve curated Striving for gold: Olympians of St George, which looks back at the personal stories of local Olympians, to understand the Games from their perspective. Come along to see Olympic memorabilia and get involved with a range of fun and interactive activities. We’ll also be holding family fun open days for our exhibitions, so swing by for drop in craft and guided tours on these special days.

If you have creative kids at home, bring them along to our Dragonflies Kids’ Club or Art Attack workshops. No matter what their skill level, if they’re interested in having fun, learning basic artistic techniques and having a go, they will love these programs. Over the next six months, we have everything from cartooning to cardboard city creations, making your own musical instrument to producing your own zines! There’s lots of fun to be had at Hurstville Museum & Gallery.

I hope to see you at one of our future events.

Hurstville Museum & Gallery tells the stories of individuals, groups and communities in the St George area from its earliest peoples to the present day, and highlights how life has changed over the years. To tell these stories, Hurstville Museum & Gallery aims to collect and preserve items related to the history and community of St George.

Over the past six months, the Museum & Gallery has taken the first steps towards increasing access to our collection by making images and information about selected objects available on eHive, an online collection management system. Members of the community can simply search for our collection and see some wonderful objects including a vintage pram, a Freezesi ice chest and many more.

We are hoping to grow our collection both physically and online over the coming year. If you would like to donate an item to the collection, please contact the Museum & Gallery.If you would like to donate an

FebruaryTranquil places to hang idyllwildRobyn McMullan

8 February - 1 March 2020

Tranquil places to hang idyllwild is a series of mixed media paintings and sketches depicting a connection to land and spirit. Using instinctual mark-making in a process of abstraction, Robyn draws heavily on nature and the impact of humans on public spaces, creating a sense of quiet disquiet; listen to the wind, feel the land, smell the air and note our presence.
