Housed in the historic Tranby House, this exhibition depicts life for the first settlers in Perth, Western Australia. Powerful stories of early colonial life and the hardships of moving to a foreign land speak directly to us through diary extracts, photographs and significant artefacts and documents.
Through innovative design solutions we delivered interpretive panel displays, bespoke furniture, showcase displays and AV technology to tell these important stories in a thought-provoking and engaging way. The project’s success was recognised and shortlisted for the 2015 WA Heritage Awards.
