FREE
Connected: Signals to the Stars is a traveling Museum on Wheels exhibition exploring the history and social impact of communication technologies on rural communities of inland Northern NSW.
In Term 2, 2026, the Museum on Wheels will visit rural primary schools, offering an engaging, world class museum experience directly to small, inland regional communities.
The curriculum-aligned exhibition content will show 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 & internet; the exhibition will foster conversations on how communities have overcome isolation by harnessing knowledge, technologies and techniques of connection.
The exhibition will feature 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.
