“IT’S like Aladdin’s Cave”, National Museum of Australia director Matt Trinca exclaimed this morning (April 20), as he helped unveil the exhibition “Trevor Kennedy Collection: Highlights” showcasing 573 objects from some 5,000 acquired by the Museum’s biggest-ever private acquisition – and it would be the first of many such shows.
Some of the objects are small in scale, like the animal ornaments, while others like items of pre-1820 Australian-made furniture, are large. The gold objects drawn from the Gold Rush are priceless, and the display of 24 emu eggs, inimitable.

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.

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. ....
