Rich in history, NT Chinese Museum’s new rehang engages audiences. Image supplied.
In September this year, the Northern Territory (NT) Chinese Museum installed a virtual reality display which constituted the first significant rehang for the institution in over a decade.
It is the first revamp since 2007, notwithstanding the updating of ‘family tree scrolls’ in 2010, is designed to ‘bring the attention of the museum to a wider audience’ and ‘provide a post-COVID reboot.’
