Hand Made Snapshot Gallery exhibition at Hurstville Museum & Gallery
To coincide with the History Week 2022 theme ‘Hands-On History’, Hurstville Museum & Gallery presents the exhibition Hand Made in the Snapshot Gallery.
From boatbuilding at Neverfail Bay in 1912 to the Renown Park Drainage Works in 1956 and Kempt Field Skateboard Bowl Construction in 1986, the exhibition features a selection of photographs from the Georges River Local Studies Library collection highlighting the many hands-on projects and activities that have contributed to our shared community history of built and made industries, places and buildings in the Georges River area.
