The Australian Museum, founded in 1827, is the nation’s first museum, and is an internationally recognised natural science and culture institution focused on Australia and the Pacific. As custodian of more than 18 million objects, the museum is uniquely positioned to provide a greater understanding of the region through its scientific research, exhibitions and public and education programs. Through the Australian Museum Research Institute, the museum also has a leading role in conserving Australia’s biodiversity, by helping to understand the environmental impacts of climate change, potential biosecurity threats and invasive species.

While paying off his college loans as a street performer in rainy Northwestern America, Rhys Thomas created Science Circus to get an indoor gig at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center. This led to a career performing in museums and schools in eight countries. He’s particularly proud of juggling in a 4,000-year-old Egyptian tomb alongside paintings of ancient jugglers, serving as Artist in Residence at The Smithsonian Institution, and teaching ball spinning to the Nobel laureate who discovered the background radiation of the Big Bang.
