South Australian Museum Roadshows
The South Australian Museum's 'Out of the Glass Case' regional Roadshows is an innovative outreach program.
In 2012, we will be celebrating ten years of the roadshow program and will be planning an exceptional schedule, visiting as many places and people as we can.
General Roadshow Information
Out of the Glass Case is an innovative regional outreach program initiated by the South Australian Museum in 2003. More than 25,000kms per annum have been covered as regional 'roadshows' visited almost every corner of South Australia: Mount Gambier in the south east to Coober Pedy in the outback, from Port Lincoln on the west coast to Kangaroo Island and the Riverland. It is estimated that between 2003 and 2009, over 1700 students had attended school days and workshops, and over 20 000 people had enjoyed family days, community events, evening lectures and presentations.
Out of the Glass Case roadshows enable the South Australian Museum to take display and collection items along with personnel and special guests 'Out of the Glass Case' to meet the community – providing free access and participation courtesy of our sponsors and regional support partners.
Ruby Award Goes to 'Out of the Glass Case' Roadshow to APY Lands
On Thursday 2 September the SA Museum's Out of the Glass Case Roadshow to the APY Lands was awarded a Ruby Award in the COMMUNITY IMPACT (under $100,000) category.
The award recognised the roadshow for giving students in remote communities a unique educational experience, the SA Museum’s Roadshow was hosted by the Umuwa community in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in May 2010.
The Ruby Awards recognise and honour the State's creative and business communities, and the role they play in enhancing our artistic reputation as well as enriching our cultural heritage.
The South Australian Museum would like to thank all those people from all the partner organisations involved and the sponsors and supporters who made the roadshow possible.
