What do coins, coral and cargo have in common? They can all be found on the Dutch shipwreck, Batavia, just one of the many mysterious Dutch wrecks discovered beneath our waters.
Join Curator of Naval Heritage and Archaeology, Dr. James Hunter, in conversation with Professor Martijn Manders from the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and Leiden University as they take a deep dive into maritime archaeology. They will discuss Dutch ship and aircraft wrecks, deep sea diving in Australian waters, and the challenge of protecting these submerged sites.
Tickets include a free drink on arrival and access to all galleries, including our newest exhibitions, Shaped by the Sea and Wildlife Photographer of the Year (usually $25 entry, but free with a ticket to this event).
Australia and the Netherlands have been connected by the oceans for centuries. Celebrate 80 years of diplomatic ties between these two countries at Ocean Talks.
