National Wool Museum - new permanent exhibition "On the Land".

"On the Land" is about the past, present and future of Australian wool. It is about people and places and how we have settled the land.

A renewed Australian story with a contemporary look and feel, updated interactives, renewed culturally relevant stories, this major project from the National Wool Museum is all about change.

"On the Land" is the story of wool in Victoria as a microcosm of the Australian wool experience. It is the story of how the land was settled with sheep and offers a deeper cultural and environmental understanding of the Australian wool industry.

This exhibition has been created with heritage research and art. Artistic installations include contributions from leading Geelong artists:

• New contemporary sculpture from Mary-Jane Walker, School of Lost Arts.

• An immersive sound installation from Vicki Hallet.

• Photography from Geelong based Nicole Marie and Pete James. Also photographs from the wool photographer himself, Andrew Chapman.

• Wadawurrung art from Deanne Gilson.

• Painting from the leading bird artist and sheep farmer Richard Weatherly.

• Even our taxidermy sheep have had a makeover with Melbourne illustrator Ashley Ronning – you can even vote for your favourite sheep!
