AN INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION
Murrook Culture Centre is proud to welcome “Bidhiinja”, a powerful new exhibition that shines a light on the lost oyster reefs of New South Wales and the growing movement to bring them back.
Developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum in collaboration with the NSW Department of Primary Industries, Bidhiinja explores the forgotten history of oyster reefs and the critical role they once played in coastal environments and communities. The exhibition draws together science, history and cultural knowledge to tell the story of these remarkable ecosystems and why their restoration matters.
Through storytelling, research and visual interpretation, Bidhiinja invites audiences to reconsider the landscapes beneath our waters and imagine a future where oyster reefs thrive once again. The exhibition is both a reminder of what has been lost and a hopeful glimpse at what can be restored.
Visit Murrook Culture Centre and immerse yourself in this incredible exhibition.
