The Journey of Burra x Australian Museum

Western science and First Nations knowledge have more in common than many realise—both are grounded in careful observation, deep connection to the environment, and the sharing of knowledge across generations.

We had the privilege of bringing this shared wisdom to life through a 10-part short film series that follows the remarkable journey of Burra—a charismatic eel—as she migrates out to sea.

This series is now a core part of the new Burra Learning Space, a permanent, culturally immersive educational experience at the Australian Museum. As visitors move through the space, they’ll encounter interactive welcome areas featuring screens that showcase moments from Burra’s journey—inviting people of all ages to engage, reflect, and learn.

Don’t be shy to go and check it out, we assure you there is no age limit!
