Connected: Signals to the Stars is a traveling MoW exhibition exploring the history and social impact of communication technologies on rural communities of inland Northern NSW.
During term 2, 2026, the MoW visited rural primary schools, offering an engaging, world class museum experience directly to small, inland regional communities.
The curriculum-aligned exhibition content showed how different methods of communication have helped build and sustain social connection within these communities.
Through exploring innovations in communication, from First Nations technologies to the telegraph, telephone, radio, TV and internet; the exhibition inspired conversations on how communities have overcome isolation by harnessing knowledge, technologies and techniques of connection.
This innovative exhibition model featured original objects, interactive displays, AR‑enhanced historical images and documents drawn from the Museum’s vast collection, as well as significant items from partnering historical societies.
