Defining Symbols of Australia

23 Nov 2024 - 16 Feb 2025

Uluru, fire truck, wattle and a kangaroo

Australia is represented by many symbols, such as the flag, the kangaroo, wattle, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Uluru.

Some symbols endure, others fade away and new ones emerge as attitudes and values change.

Inspired by the National Museum of Australia’s collection, this exhibition explores some of the symbols that define Australia and its people.

Defining Symbols of Australia is a travelling exhibition developed by the National Museum of Australia with support from the National Museum’s donor community and the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program.

The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
