In partnership with the Department of Education, through funding provided by Cultural Connections, The Rooms invited members of the arts community to explore the vaults and select items from the collections that resonated with them and their creative practice. The resulting videos are a fascinating look into our collections, the creative process and where inspiration comes from.
