Queensland to a T: State Library of Queensland
Queensland’s stories told through tea towels
Gympie Regional Gallery is proud to announce an exhibition with local and national significance in partnership with the State Library of Queensland.
The humble tea towel can be many things to many people – decorative décor, cherished souvenir, stylised reminder of a treasured time.
Featuring 100 tea towels from the State Library of Queensland’s collection, Queensland to a T gives a unique look into Queensland culture and identity between 1950 and 2016, reflecting changing ideas and interests – and the stubborn longevity of some stereotypes.
Enjoy iconic tea towels from Gympie, the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay and across the entire state. Soak up history and all things nostalgia and memorable while you reminisce, remember and see what comes out in the wash.
Join us for the Official Opening and Projection Art on Friday 22 November.
