A new exhibition explores the history and the drama, offstage and on, of Australia’s most famous building and exposes a long-lasting urban myth about its architect Jorn Utzon.
The exhibition honours the incredible architectural achievement and showcases the broad range of productions, performances and events that have shaped the building into ‘the people’s house’ we know today. Visitors can explore rare archival records, programs, posters, exquisite costumes, photographs, set boxes, architectural drawings, models, artworks and classic souvenirs.
A new digitisation program of insolvency records from the 19th century offers a glimpse into early colonial life: when one person went broke, the impact rippled through the household, the suburb and local vendors.
