Kids writing and artwork at the National Museum of Australia

e:lit

Writing and artworks by students participating in Special forever: an environmental communications project for primary schools in the Murray-Darling Basin have been included in the Water H2O = LIFE exhibition that opened at the National Museum of Australia on 3 December 2009. This exhibition takes a vivid and in-depth look at the many ways water shapes life on earth, cultural and spiritual aspects of water, pressing environmental issues and actions we can take. 

The Special forever display has been set up in the exit foyer so the children, inheritors of today's water and environment management, get the last word.  The art works are displayed on a plasma screen and the colours are brilliant.  There are also 5 panels with written works and 1 large one about the Special Forever project and Murray Darling Basin.  Seating has been placed in the area so people can take the time stop (to rest) and read and view the works. 

The exhibition will be on display until 16 May 2010. Entry fees apply.  

Special forever is a joint project of e:lit and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority.
