This exhibition explores the many ways care has manifested in our human experience.

Our capacity to offer care to our fellow humans is one of our greatest strengths as a species. In infancy, our very survival relies on care.

Exhibition display of medical artefactsAs we move through our lives, the acts of providing and receiving care enable us to form cohesive bonds, binding individuals, families and communities.

Care begins with Country, weaving through ancient civilisations, through to the application of modern medicine, and the rise of self-care and wellness, care is a constant.

In challenging times, care becomes even more important. Acts of care can be priceless. Care continues to hold us together.

Ask yourself: How do you care?
