Join us as we delve into the Narryna collection to bring you untold stories of some of our more unusual collection items. Not only will you get to see objects not usually on display, but you will also learn their stories.

Renowned luthier and TSO musician, Douglas Coghill will share his knowledge and expertise in the craft of violin making. Douglas will then join former QVMAG director Chris Tassell and historian Dr Elisabeth Wilson to conduct a Q&A session about the twists and issues of provenance research in museum collections. The story of the Narryna violin, c.1840, which has a strong association with many families from the Sorell and Dunalley districts, will be discussed to highlight its fascinating history and the importance and complexities of its provenance.

Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine on arrival, generously sponsored by Bangor Winery. Additional beverages and food with be available to purchase.

Talk will begin at 6pm in the pavilion.
