The Australian Museum’s exhibition Alexander the Great: 2000 Years of treasures must close its doors on Sunday 28 April after setting attendance records for the museum over summer.
“I urge people to take the opportunity to see these treasures for 28 April as they will not travel to Australia again in our lifetime,” says Frank Howarth, Director of the Australian Museum.
The Alexander the Great exhibition is the principal attraction for the State Hermitage during the summer tourist season so the objects must be returned to their home in St Petersburg.
“As we close the doors, a team of Russian curators and couriers will begin to prepare and pack the objects for passage back to the State Hermitage,” says Elizabeth Cowell, the exhibition’s Project Manager.
Anticipating a busy final month, the museum suggests to get to the exhibition in the early afternoon as mornings have been the busiest period so far.
