Exhibition - Our City: 175 Years in 175 Objects

The City of Sydney held an exhibition in the Lower Town Hall from 27 October to 12 November 2017 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the municipality of Sydney.

Entitled 'Our City: 175 Years in 175 Objects', the exhibition showcased 175 'hero' items from the archives and civic collections and considerable additional content. The exhibition was curated by Dr Lisa Murray, Margaret Betteridge and Michael Smith.

This collection brings together the items from the City Archives and the Civic Collection that were chosen to be displayed in the exhibition and in the printed catalogue. The catalogue itself provides more details about each of the hero items and the themes represented in the exhibition.
