Australian National Maritime Museum

I mean, I stalked you on LinkedIn as kind of doing the research like this, seeing, you know,

Australian National Maritime Museum in there,

several travel organizations, agencies.

You've worked in the public sector for a bit.

You're so welcome.

I've been talking to Kim Sajet, art historian, who's currently the director of Milwaukee Art Museum, um, and was for 12 years running the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, and she's out in Sydney for the International Congress of Maritime Museums, which is being held at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.

[upbeat music] Coming up, Vienna's unique Museum of Globes of the World.

[upbeat music] The other day, the United States cast the sole vote against a UN resolution carried by 164 nations to ditch the wildly inaccurate map of the world we've all grown up with, the Mercator projection of the 16th century, to ditch it in favor of a map that shows Africa's true majesty and cuts Russia and Greenland and Alaska down to size.

This section works along the Western waterfront through Darling Harbor in Pyrmont.

The course guides, guide notes, landmarks like Cockle Bay, the International Convention Center, the Australian National Maritime Museum, Wildlife, Sydney Zoo, Harris Street, the Star, and then the Google's Sydney office area.

I did see the big Google building.

Also saw a lot of video game developers there, which also in Vancouver, which I thought was interesting.

Talks, exhibitions, family-friendly experiments across museums and libraries – brilliant option if you've got curious kids, or you are one.

Down at Darling Harbour, the Australian National Maritime Museum has Secret Strike – War on Our Shores.

Exploring wartime stories and naval history opens standard hours today.

Over in Double Bay, Art to Muse Gallery has Forest Song by Coco Elder.
