Three temporary displays for your viewing pleasure:
The Snapper and the Clyde
marks the 200th anniversary of European exploration and naming of the Clyde River. At the mouth of the Bhundoo, Snapper Island bears the name of the little government vessel which first sheltered in the lee of the island in 1821. Come on in for the full story.
Hat’titude
features nostalgic headwear from our collection, and an opportunity to take a
selfie as fruity Carmen Miranda, or flaunt some Steampunk hat'titude.
Then and Now
a reprise of post-fire Mogo landscapes, shows artistic works by local
photographer Ted Richards.
HAT'TITUDE - a display featuring hats from our Fashion Collection, and some entertaining Selfie opportunities. (Thanks to Bill and Ross, alias Sherlock Holmes and Carmen Miranda).
