The State Library of New South Wales has opened a new AMAZE gallery to show case curious objects in the library’s collection, particularly from the Dixson collection which contains items such as the only extant Ned Kelly Wanted poster and James Cook’s charts of New Zealand.
To support engagement with the collection, the library has developed a smartphone app that can be used downloaded onto visitors’ own devices or used on one of the library’s devices.
See the library’s exhibition space website for more information or listen to Dr Alex Byrne, director of the library, on Radio National’s PM program via the podcast on the RN website.
