We have researched and contacted several museums:

Australian Museum - no resources

Powerhouse museum - would be a great idea but no display. Look on website

Conservatorium of Music - gamelan room but no-one to show us (not really a student display) can book a workshop: gamelan, shakuhachi flute, world music, HSC preparation, composing for film.

Chau Chak Wing museum - may have in their collection but not on display. Look on website but not easy to navigate.
