About the Exhibition

The SEA-Collections Project aims to enhance collaboration between museums across ASEAN countries and Australia, enabling them to share their rich maritime histories in innovative ways that transcend traditional nation-state narratives.

This exhibition is the result of a collaboration between seven organisations: the National Maritime Museum Chanthaburi (Thailand), Marine Heritage Gallery (Indonesia), Chau Chak Wing Museum (Australia), Brunei Darussalam Maritime Museum (Brunei), Australian National Maritime Museum (Australia), Art Gallery of New South Wales (Australia), and Ayala Museum (Philippines).

The exhibition has been developed through a series of in-person workshops held in Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines, along with online sessions to discuss cross-cutting themes and the exhibition design concept. These activities were facilitated with support from the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre (SSEAC) at the University of Sydney, in collaboration with Southeast Asia Museum Services (SEAMS).

The exhibition has been made possible through generous support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s ASEAN-Australia Centre, with additional support from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
