British Museum exhibition bound for WA

The Western Australian Museum has achieved another international coup for Perth by securing the British Museum exhibition, A History of the World in 100 Objects. This will be the third major international exhibition presented as part of the WA Museum's special relationship with the British Museum. A History of the World in 100 Objects tells its story exclusively through artefacts that people have made – including the bronze Head of Augustus – once part of a statue of the Emperor which dates from 27-25 BC from the Sudan, and is exclusive to the Australian tour. The exhibition will run from February 13, 2016, with tickets on sale from November 2015.
