Developed in partnership with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, this self-guided tour features audio recordings from Wurundjeri community and Elders, offering a deeper understanding of their connection to the land. Available on the Docklands Tours app, the 30-minute trail begins and ends at Harbour Esplanade, covering 11 geo-tagged locations. The app, endorsed by community leaders and government officials, encourages people to discover the rich Wurundjeri heritage. Download it from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.

Pharaoh is a landmark exhibition that celebrates three thousand years of ancient Egyptian art and culture. Through more than 500 works, including monumental sculpture, architecture, temple statuary, exquisite jewellery, papyri, coffins and a rich array of funerary objects, the exhibition unpacks the phenomenon of pharaoh, those all-powerful kings claiming a divine origin.

The exhibition comprises seven thematic sections that explore the pharaoh’s roles and duties, including as the high priest officiating in temples, the head of the country’s administration, the leader of the army and the head of the royal family.

From imagery on rings, bracelets and personal treasures, to statues and monuments of colossal scale, the pharaohs presented an idealised image of themselves as invincible warriors and fervent worshippers of the gods, who held a unique position as intermediaries between these divine beings and the rest of humanity.
