Adventure World & Australian Museum: The Aztecs

Adventure World & Australian Museum: The Aztecs Adventure World partners with the Australian Museum to welcome the Aztecs!

What do Adventure World and the Australian Museum have in common? A solid passion for culture, history and people for starters. But now they also have a brutal, rich, fascinating history of ancient warriors on their hands. And the two companies couldn’t be more pleased about it.

Adventure World and the Australian Museum also both have an integral culture of exploration and learning, and they both work towards attracting and satiating people with an undying thirst for the world and travel. It makes perfect sense then, that Adventure World recently announced a major new three-year partnership with the Australian Museum, forged just in time for Adventure World to be the presenting partner of the Aztecs exhibition that opened on September 13 at the Australian Museum in Sydney.

More than 450 guests enjoyed the opening night preview, where they enjoyed a mariachi band, dancers, and gourmet empanadas and margaritas, and since then, people have been pouring through the doors.





The Aztecs is showing until February 1, 2015 and it brings together over 200 priceless artefacts. The pieces – many in gold, jade, stone and terracotta – have been assembled from the collections of more than 20 Mexican museums and have never been showcased together in Australia before. They are brought to life with clever multimedia displays delving into the former empire and the legends surrounding its peoples’ afterlife. Gods and demons, warriors and slaves, nobles and commoners – they are all a part of an exhibition that will ensure that the 500 year reign of this ancient civilization of warriors will live on in the minds of the many who see it. 





Adventure World is also collaborating with the Australian Museum to create a range of themed travel programs tailored to suit Australian Museum members and designed to provide extraordinary, cultural, historical and wildlife experiences, allowing members to visit unique destinations around the world accompanied by Australian Museum experts.     

“Adventure World is one of Australia’s most experienced and trusted travel brands and we look forward to having them on board as our fist exhibition partner and our long-term travel partner” said Kim McKay AO, Australian Museum Director and CEO said.

And the Managing Director of Adventure World, a self-proclaimed history and art geek who just wrapped up a Masters in Art History & Curatorship, is also ecstatic about both the exhibition and the collaboration.

“The partnership between AW and AM is a perfect one,” she said.  “Our customers are curious about the world, keen to explore, understand and engage authentically with different cultures in the same way the Australian Museum members and visitors are. We are proud to be able to provide the best in curated soft adventure travel experiences for the Australian Museum members. And we are also excited to be a presenting partner of an exhibition that will provide a cultural experience for local audiences by showcasing one of the world’s greatest civilisations.”



HOW TO GET THERE:


The Australian Museum is at 6 College Street in central Sydney, right next to Hyde Park. Regular buses pass by the museum and Museum Station is a stone’ throw from the museum’s entrance.
