30 CASE STUDY: MARNTI WARAJANGA—A WALK TOGETHER TRAVELLING EXHIBITION REPORT 2011-12 OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE ANNUAL The exhibition was complemented by a suite of photography workshops, guided tours, education programs and celebratory events. Through these programs the communities shared their history with each other, often with Indigenous elders teaching their young relatives the importance of their recent democratic history. They also participated in the cyclic sharing of history and reflections by contributing more images and stories, many of which feature on the exhibition’s website. To continue the conversation, the museum produced a small booklet for each of the five Pilbara communities visited, featuring images of the exhibition and programs and some of the portraits created in the workshops. Over the touring period of seven weeks, 9,685 people visited the exhibition and the exhibition team conducted 451 workshops and other programs A. for more than 3,000 participants. More than 600 people from the communities attended the opening celebrations. The museum published and distributed 6,000 catalogues and community booklets. At the end of the tour, the exhibition— which had been towed in a trailer from Canberra—was donated to the Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre for ongoing use by Pilbara communities. Supported by the Australian Government’s National B. Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program, the project also attracted the museum’s first major corporate sponsorship. BHP Billiton provided funding and other support needed to realise the museum’s vision to take an exhibition back to the communities who had helped create it. C. D. Photos: Tobias Titz A.

Tours The museum offered six guided tours of Old Parliament House daily, led by volunteers, and up to six staff-facilitated sessions of the Cabinet-in- Confidence multimedia experience each day. Interpretation activities Interpretation is a tool for revealing meanings and relationships to help people understand their history and their environment. Through interpretation, the museum brings to life the heritage values embodied in the Old Parliament House site and its collections, and their roles as symbols of democracy. The interpretation of the museum and building seeks to inspire and engage Australians to celebrate, debate and experience the past, present and future of Australian’s democracy. Interpretation projects and activities during the year included: • developing an interpretive panel to explain the significance of the evidence of building work in the Downstairs Gallery • installing a new suite of visitor furniture for King’s Hall • preparing an interpretation plan for King’s Hall for 2012–14 • improving the museum’s orientation and wayfinding signage and updating the visitor guide and map • working with exhibitions staff to dress the prime minister’s desk in the Prime Ministers of Australia exhibition • refreshing the Hands on Democracy: Make:Say:Do space, including providing new bookcases and cushions for the reading space • providing fresh costumes for the Hands on Democracy:Play:Act:Be space • updating the MoADventure Trail • coordinating community events such as the Rotary National Model United Nations Assembly (19–21 August 2011), the Australian National University Debating Society Spring Tournament Grand Final (4 September 2011) and the National Indigenous Youth Parliament (described in more detail in the case study on page 32) • conducting familiarisation activities for industry colleagues in the ACT Branch of Museums Australia IMAGE network.
