Time for an anatomy lesson at the National Wool Museum
THIS winter, the National Wool Museum will be transformed with life-sized animal sculptures by Michele Beevors in the Anatomy Lessons exhibition.
The life-sized sculptures range from a towering giraffe 4.4-metres in height to an army of more than 50 frogs.
Carefully measured, drawn and moulded from steel, wire, and foam, the pieces are an accurate portrayal of real animals and thought-provoking.
Ms Beevors is originally from Australia and has been practicing art in New Zealand for the last 20 years, exhibiting in galleries, museums and exhibition spaces across the country, Australia and Vienna.

City of Greater Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said the city was proud to bring world-class and thought proving exhibitions to the region.
“Anatomy Lessons is an immensely engaging exhibition, with a story to tell about the environment and the protection of endangered species.”
The exhibition has travelled around the world as each sculpture tells a story with a range of concepts including the collection of animals by museums and collectors and the often-sad role animals have in our lives.
National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher said the exhibition was uniquely beautiful and one not to be missed.
“The museum is delighted to welcome Michele Beevors to Geelong.

“Head of sculpture of Dunedin School of Art with a string of international exhibitions under her belt, Beevors brings amazing insight and learning, making audiences think deep and explore age old practices and the consequences.”
The exhibition runs from June 7 until October 27 at the National Wool Museum daily from 10am until 5pm.
