Finding Gold Exhibition - announcement by Victorian Premier John Brumby
Finding Gold is an exhibition that will be included in Australia's cultural program at the Shanghai World Expo in May 2010. The exhibition portrays the story of Chinese Australians from the Gold Rush days to recent time and their contribution to Australian Society. With gold as its central theme it aims to promote minerals as one of Victoria's and Australia's major commodities.
As one of Victoria's off-site cultural events, the exhibition has been seed-funded by Arts Victoria and is attracting sponsors to enhable the exhibition to be created. At the Museum's launch event, many representatives from the mining industry were present. As a result, Newcrest Mining Ltd. has become the major sponsor.
The launch event was sponsored by Calibre Business Integration, who has also agreed to become a supporting sponsor for the exhibition.
From Shanghai, it is planned to travel the exhibition during 2010-2011 to Nanjing, Tianjin and Guangzhou resulting in an estimated 100,000 visitors.
November 2009 onwards
