The Exhibition
World of Wonder: Margot McKinney
MUSEUM OF BRISBANE. LEVEL 3, BRISBANE CITY HALL
THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED
From the coral reef in our own backyard to the rich palette of colours found on safari in Tanzania, this exhibition was a mesmerising celebration of the complex and profoundly beautiful environments and materials that have inspired Margot’s designs.
Exploring opulent opals, lustrous pearls and rare gems like the intensely blue tanzanite, lilac amethyst and pink tourmalines.
World of Wonder was the fourth exhibition in MoB’s identity series that celebrated creative greats who call Brisbane home, including Mao’s Last Dancer the Exhibition: A Portrait of Li Cunxin, a spotlight on designers Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson for Pattern & Print: Easton Pearson Archive, and High Rotation – an exhibition celebrating over 100 musicians over the last three decades.
“I am deeply honoured for my work and the history of our family business to be the subject of the Museum of Brisbane’s World of Wonder: Margot McKinney exhibition.
This all encompassing exhibition shared the many stories that comprise the rich tapestry of our 5th generation family business over our 140 year history.”
