Unsettled exhibition: corporate partners' virtual hub

The Australian Museum (AM) is pleased to offer partners of the Unsettled exhibition access to digital content and exclusive virtual experiences related to the exhibition and First Nations cultures at the AM.

In May 2021, the AM opened one of the most important exhibitions in the Museum’s history. Unsettled uncovers the untold histories behind this nation’s foundation story.

Thanks to the support of our Unsettled exhibition partners and supporters; The Balnaves Foundation, IAS Fine Art Logistics, Reconciliation Australia, Ashurst, DLA Piper, Gilbert + Tobin, and ABC Radio Sydney, the AM was able to ensure that this important truth telling exhibition was open to the public with free entry for all.

Prior to the AM's temporary closure, we welcomed more than 21,000 visitors through this powerful First Nations-led and informed exhibition, which gives an insight into the lived experience of First Nations peoples over the last 250 years.

And now, we’re delighted to share a 360-degree immersive experience of the Unsettled exhibition which enables the key themes, topics and impact of the exhibition to resonate beyond the initial exhibition at the AM and reach additional audiences with this important message.

While the AM remains temporarily closed, you can now virtually visit Unsettled. This 360-degree immersive experience showcases the exhibition's significant cultural objects, historical documents and contemporary artworks, providing access to label text and audio/visual recordings. There are even introductions to each section read out by the exhibition curator.
