We're so excited to be open to the general public again! One of our brand new exhibitions is from New Zealand's Pātaka Art Museum. 'Here: Kupe to Cook' dismantles misconceptions about the discovery of Aotearoa, helping us to more fully understand our connection to the people and places of Te Moananui-a-Kiwa, the Pacific Ocean. One beautiful object on display is this dress made from barkcloth fashioned after a European style of women’s gown from the time of Captain James Cook’s first voyage to Aotearoa New Zealand in 1769.

“The ocean holds all mankind together, we are all connected by it and we must look after it.” - Florence Gutchen, Erub Artist .

Sharks, fish and other marine life all over the world have also suffered similar fates through entanglement in fishing nets. . 📷: Hammerhead shark, ghost net sculpture, © Erub Arts, ANMM Collection 00055283 . . #WorldOceansDay #seamuseum #oceanlover #oceans #environment #oceanscience #oceans #saynotoplastic #plasticfree #shark #darlingharbour #pyrmont #sydney #erub #erubarts #indigenousart #community #torresstrait #ghostnets #lookup

A curious young grey whale speckled with barnacles and scarred from scooping prey off the seabed approaches a pair of hands reaching down. In San Ignacio Lagoon, grey whales actively seek contact with people to get a head scratch. For photographer Thomas P Peschak, capturing this shot of a whale that sought out human contact was a first. This image is just one of the many beautiful photos you'll find in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition - book your tickets online now for when the museum re-opens from 22 June.

#OnThisDay in 1629 the Dutch ship Batavia sank off the coast of Western Australia on its maiden voyage. It has become famous for the grisly massacre that followed. This 'beardman' jug was excavated from the wreck site of the Batavia, and is one of the more than 500 objects you'll be able to see in our brand new gallery Under Southern Skies when the museum re-opens to the public on 22 June.

Hands up who loves frogs! 🐸 Every spring for more than a decade, photographer Manuel Plaickner followed the mass migration of common frogs in South Tyrol, Italy. He took this image by immersing himself and his camera in a large pond where hundreds of frogs had gathered. There he waited until the moment arrived for the picture he had in mind – lingering frogs, harmonious colours, soft, natural light and dreamy reflections. . Rising spring temperatures bring common frogs out of their winter shelters. They head straight to water to breed, often returning to where they were spawned. Though widespread across Europe, their numbers are thought to be declining due to habitat degradation from pollution and drainage of breeding sites. 📷: Pondworld © Manuel Plaickner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year . . . . . #seamuseum #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #naturelovers #frogs #amphibians #photography #conservation #frog #naturephotography #naturalworld #eco #reuserecycle #savetheplanet

For today's #MuseumWeek theme #TechnologyMW we're sharing this 19th century double-framed sextant from our collection. . Sextants were used to obtain the angles or height from the horizon of a celestial body such as stars, planets, the moon or the sun. This information could then be used to calculate a vessel's latitude and, aided by a chronometer and mathematical tables, its longitude. . The construction technique used for this sextant produced a very rigid, robust and accurate instrument, and was first developed by Troughton and Simms in the early 1800s and remained popular until the development of lighter sextants in the 1850s. . 📷: 1810 - 1860 | ANMM Collection 00036876 . . . . #seamuseum #ANMMCollection #maritimemuseum #sextant #navy #maritimeinstruments #navigation
