Catalyst: Tom Gleeson’s Secrets of the Australian Museum

Next week in a special Catalyst episode, Tom Gleeson takes cameras behind the scenes of The Australian Museum as the team count down for a blockbuster exhibit three years in the making: ‘Sharks’.

Tom speaks to numerous specialists, including the museum’s Director & CEO, Cultural Curator, Collections Manager, Director of Research, taxidermists, conservators, artists and model makers, amongst others.
