Trevor Kennedy Collection: Highlights exhibition features extraordinary historic objects
Over 500 Australian historical artefacts and decorative arts objects drawn from the internationally recognised Trevor Kennedy Collection are now on display at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
This is the first time Australiana objects from the Trevor Kennedy Collection have been available for public viewing.
To acknowledge the Museum’s largest and most significant acquisition, the Museum’s Forecourt bush garden has been named in recognition of Christina and Trevor Kennedy.
The exhibition showcases 573 objects from some 5,000 acquired by the Museum in 2020 through its largest acquisition, a combination of a purchase by the Museum of over $8 million and a donation by Mr Kennedy valued at about $7 million.
