Featuring more than 300 paintings and objects plus song, dance, photography and multimedia, the exhibition shares the story of the Seven Sisters as they traverse the continent from Roebourne in WA's North West, through Martu and Ngaanyatjarra lands in the west, to the APY (Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara) lands in the north west of South Australia.
Songlines: Tracking the Seven Sisters is the culmination of more than five years of collaboration between Aboriginal communities and the National Museum of Australia (NMA). The display includes the world's highest resolution DomeLab, where visitors can immerse themselves in images of Seven Sisters rock art, as well as animated artworks.
Also opening at the new WA Museum Boola Bardip is a stunning collections of artworks from Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route.
Yiwarra Kuju shares the story of the Canning Stock Route's impact and the importance of the Country around it, expressed through Aboriginal voices and interpreted through Aboriginal eyes.
Both collections are coming to WA as part of a special partnership between WA Museum and the NMA. Opening on November 21, the new WA Museum Boola Bardip will act as a gateway to explore all of WA, using state-of-the-art technology and innovative display methods.
The project includes the restoration of heritage buildings, construction of a new building, a public art project and the design, production and installation of museum content.
