AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM
On Sharks and Humanity
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Momentum2 was engaged by the Australian National Maritime Museum to:
-
Generate maximum exposure for the internationally-acclaimed contemporary art exhibition, On Sharks & Humanity
-
Reinforce the museum’s brand refresh
The On Sharks & Humanity exhibition explored the damaging environmental impact of human interaction on marine life and in particular, the relationship between humanity and sharks. Shark preservation was the key focus and this message was communicated through the visually- striking creations of the artists. The exhibition was launched in December 2018 and continued until June 2019.
