I had no idea that the Garden Palace existed in the area we now call the Botanical Gardens opposite the State Library of NSW.in the 1880s The artist Jonathan Jones has created a remarkable artwork using lots of white gypsum shields to map out the foundations of the outside walls of the Palace. Interwoven in the space are audio and musical elements to enable Jones to tell the story of the relationship between local indigenous people and their artifacts lost in the fire that consumed the Palace in the late 1880s
A few pics to sample the show
