Charles Darwin — Voyages and ideas that shook the world
review by Mike Smith
In my view, the real strength of this exhibition is that it shows that Darwin's voyage on HMS Beagle (1831–36) was just one of a series of British naval survey voyages to the Southern Hemisphere that included naturalists and artists.

The untold story of modernism in Australia
review by Jill Julius Matthews
The variety and complexity of 'the modern' have generated a confusing lexicon of multiple and incompatible meanings for modern, modernisation, modernity, modernité, modernism. In other words, modern is a bugger of a concept to work with.
