Unstoppable! Bradman Museum Women’s Cricket Gallery, NSW
Opened: January 2025
The Women’s Cricket Gallery at the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame was designed to capture the spirit and evolution of women’s cricket in Australia. The project encompassed the development of content, design, documentation, fabrication, and installation of an engaging exhibition honouring the sport’s rich history and achievements. A mix of storytelling techniques enhanced visitor engagement. Contemporary showcase settings displayed memorabilia from Australia’s greatest female cricketers, while AV featured firsthand insights from contemporary players. The exhibition also explored the science of cricket, reflecting its growing importance in the modern game. By blending historical narrative with interactive and visual elements, the Women’s Cricket Gallery offers an immersive and inspiring tribute to the trailblazers of Australian women’s cricket.

Busselton Jetty Marine Discovery Centre, WA
Opened: June 2024
The Thylacine team worked collaboratively with marine scientists, First Nations stakeholders, and the Busselton Jetty team to develop and deliver a media-rich, interactive visitor experience, focused on environmental awareness that caters to diverse learning approaches and ages. Thylacine managed the design and fabrication of the project from the early works planning and base build integration, through to the final install of the exhibition. Our role included content development and curation, writing and editing interpretive materials, and designing interactive, 3D and 2D elements. Thylacine managed production, including offsite fabrication and onsite installation, commissioning, and focusing and coordinated media procurement and show controls to deliver a quality immersive and educational visitor experience.

Victoria Police Museum, VIC
Opened: April 2024
The new Victoria Police Museum is a world-class venue and home to a significant state collection of more than 300 objects. It attracts visitors and serving Police officers alike and the museum’s inviting street access close to a busy tourist hub in Naarm (Melbourne) has opened up the collection to new and more diverse audiences. Thylacine was commissioned to design the exhibition, transforming the collection into an immersive experience for visitors of all ages that explores the history of Victorian policing, forensics, and notorious criminals through fresh storytelling and interactive exhibits. The nationally significant collection is rich in varied stories, including Australia’s largest collection of Kelly Gang armour and the car used in the 1986 Russell Street bombing. The exhibition design balances showcasing these fascinating objects with a fresh narrative that engages in greater truth-telling and acknowledges the sometimes fraught history between the police and parts of the Victorian community.

Yaamanga Around Here, Coffs Harbour, NSW
Opened: September 2023
The Yarrila Arts and Museum on Gumbaynggirr land in Coffs Harbour, NSW is the heart of the city’s new cultural hub. Yarrila is a Gumbaynggirr word meaning illuminate and this was our team’s rallying call – to shine a light on the stories of Coffs Harbour. Our design for the centrepiece exhibition Yaamanga Around Here engages visitors through interactive elements and object storytelling. Rather than yet another regional history museum, this is a contemporary exhibition that leans into the personality of the Coffs region. We collaborated closely with the curators to define what an interpretative museum experience could be and worked with the architects to realise this vision. The result is a space where art and museum are interconnected.

Everybody Had a Name, Melbourne Holocaust Museum, VIC
Opened: November 2023
The Melbourne Holocaust Museum is Australia’s largest institution dedicated to Holocaust education, research and remembrance and the result of a 10-year project with Kerstin Thompson Architects. Everybody Had a Name, designed by Thylacine, is the centrepiece and embodies the museum’s mission to amplify the voices of Holocaust survivors. Everybody Had a Name is testament to our team’s dedication to design excellence and storytelling. By pushing the boundaries of exhibition design, we not only supported the educational mission of the Melbourne Holocaust Museum but also established a new standard for retelling sensitive historical narratives.
