The National Museum of Australia’s A History of the World in 100 Objects opens in 50 days, on 9 September 2016.
This major international exhibition from the British Museum explores the history of humanity – how we have shaped the world, and how the world has shaped us.
It provides an exceptional opportunity to witness compelling human stories expressed through a unique and beautiful collection of rare artefacts.
Each object featured in the exhibition marks a point on the journey through history, from two million years ago until the present.
A History of the World in 100 Objects is supported by the ACT Government through the Special Event Fund, and is on show from 9 September 2016 until 29 January 2017.
Tickets for the exhibition are on sale now.
