Explore the Birds of Australia During National Science Week

Grafton Regional Gallery is excited to present The Birds of Australia STORYBOX in partnership with the Australian Museum and ESEM projects. This unique digital storytelling cube, inspired by the work of John and Elizabeth Gould, is now on display in Grafton Memorial Park, Prince Street, NSW.

The Birds of Australia STORYBOX is a touring digital installation created by the Australian Museum. This 3D storytelling cube is visiting public spaces across New South Wales, offering communities an opportunity to engage with stories, animations, illustrations, and interactive elements that highlight the beauty and fragility of Australia’s diverse birdlife. The free exhibition is complemented by public programs at Grafton Regional Gallery and Clarence Valley Libraries, including an art trail connecting Grafton Library, Memorial Park, and the Gallery.

In addition, the STORYBOX features animated artworks by Clarence Valley artists, celebrating the endangered coastal emu. This animation was frst showcased in October 2022 on the Sunshine Sugar tower in South Grafton.
