Public Displays


Display of research posters, ANBG Visitor Centre, 2009

The CANBR does not have a public display area, so these are largely handled by our two parent organisations:
    - CSIRO Plant Industry and its 'Discovery Centre' and the
    - Australian National Botanic Gardens and its Visitor Centre.

The Centre had considerable involvement in the preparation of exhibitions in the Visitor Centre at the Australian National Botanic Gardens when the topic is relevant. In recent years this has included some extensive displays on cryptogams.

Laminated posters are produced in conjunction with major conferences or other venues. These have included promotions such as the Pea Key, Euclid, and Australia's Virtual Herbarium.

Displays were set up outside each lecture in for series such as 'Biodiverisity Bites', to illustrate specimens and live plants referred to in the lectures. The display area was also the space for drinks and nibbles and enhanced the social discussions which followed the lectures.

2011 Report

No major new indoor displays with strong scientific botanial content have been developed since 2008, but the 'Art and the Bryophyte' exhibition has toured extensively in both Australia and overseas (China) and promotes the work done in the Cryptogam Herbarium.

In April 2009 the Herbarium made available many research posters from past conferences and venues to show the public this means of scientific communication. This was supplemented with a range of herbarium specimens to support the posters.

In 2009 and 2010 the CANBR staff set up major outdoor displays called 'The Tree of Trees' featuring an on-ground representation of the phylogeny of the genus Acacia as it was then known. These were located at the Botanic Gardens and proved very popular with the scientifically inquisitive members of the public.

In 2011 photographic display panels on Australian plants were provided for the IBC in Melbourne.
