Museum of Brisbane brings out the bling in this showcase of Australian jewellery designer Margot McKinney’s creations alongside five generations of history and storytelling, with a treasure trove of never-before-seen intimate family archives as well as opulent opals, lustrous pearls, and rare exotic gems like the intensely blue tanzanite, lilac amethyst, and pink tourmaline.
From our own coral reefs to the rich palette of colours found on safari in Tanzania, World of Wonder celebrates the complex and profoundly beautiful environments and materials that have inspired McKinney’s designs.
