GOVERNMENT HOUSE AFTER REFURBISHMENT

 

The completion of the newly refurbished drawing rooms at Government
House last September, marked the culmination of a decade of intensive
planning and collaboration by the Historic Houses Trust with
consultants, artists, craftspeople, designers and manufacturers. The aim
of the project was to not only restore the building and its historic
interiors but to re-establish its historic reputation as a showcase for
contemporary art, craft and design in New South Wales. The tour provides
an opportunity to view these innovative interiors and gain insight into
the historic elements of the building that inspired the Trust's
development of the To Furnish a Future philosophy.

 

Tour conducted by curators Ann Toy and Robert Griffin.

 

DATE: Wednesday 14 May 2008,

TIME: 4 pm
