With only a small number of women holding the knowledge of shell stringing, we were concerned about the continuation of the practice. It was my dream to enable other Aboriginal women from around Tasmania to learn and revive this important cultural practice within their families. - Lola Greeno - shell artist 🐚 .

Did you know our Tasman Lighthouse lens is 113 years old? It was hard at work for 71 years in a lighthouse on Tasman Island, in Storm Bay off Cape Pillar, south-east Tasmania. The lens features five panels each comprised of 127 pieces of flint glass in a brass frame - that's alot of vintage glass to clean! . Our conservation team spent some time last week giving the lens some love - and a good clean. Take a peek behind the scenes! . . . . . . . #lighthouse #tasmanlight #tasmania #lighthouselens #vintageglass #lens #glass #conservation #conservationlife #shipping #seamuseum #museumlife #historyweek

Welcome back spring, hello blue skies! 😊 . This unique sculpture named 'Johnnie and Mehmet' is by leading Australian artist Alexander Knox. It was created to remember the engagement between WWI Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS AE2 and Turkish torpedo boat Sultanhisar. The sculpture moves to make signals and also plays sounds from the maritime world. . . . . . . #WW1 #AE2 #sculpture #publicart #darlingharbour #seamuseum #AlexanderKnox #submarine #historyweek #navysignals #royalaustraliannavy #submariner
