In Conversation With Marion Boyce

Old Government House Qut

Join award winning costume designer, Marion Boyce, in conversation with Associate Curator Christopher Salter for an exclusive and fascinating evening at Old Government House.

In this discussion, hear about Marion's lifelong passion for collecting, stories from her career in film and television (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), and the inspiration for her new exhibition, The Bowerbird and The Bride.

The stunning exhibition, featuring her own collection of vintage wedding gowns is currently on show at Old Government House.

Says Marion, "I've always been incredibly fascinated by objects and things ... I was a curious child ... when I was quite young I had a neighbour called Miss Fisk who lived next door and she had the most beautiful treasure land you've ever seen ... I became fascinated with this pair of scissors, these beautiful silver scissors that were embroidery snips and they were silver bowerbirds and she would tell me stories about bowerbirds ... and strangely enough I think that's what I've become..."

In a nutshell - Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to hear from the great collector and custodian of beautiful things, Marion Boyce.

Nice to know - Included in the ticket price are canapes and drinks.

Need to know - For those using the pay-on-exit carparks on campus, who enter before 6pm on a weekday, have your parking ticket validated at the Old Government House visitor desk to access the discounted rate of $5 per hour, or part thereof.
