“It looks like an alien... like a deep sea creature. But in real fact, it's actually living a few hundred metres out the front of most people's doorsteps in Darwin.”

Is it a fish? Is it an alien? Is it a worm of death? In this episode, you’ll find out what lurks in the intertidal zone just off Darwin and how an accidental hook up by a local angler uncovered a strange new creature. We’ll take you into the wet stores with a fish expert and you’ll find out what it takes to identify a new species.

This is The Collection, a podcast that blends science and storytelling to showcase fascinating objects from the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.   

In this episode hear from MAGNT’s Curator of Fishes, Dr Michael Hammer, and keen angler and aquatic Ecologist, Nathan Litjens.

 

The Collection is produced by StoryProjects with production by Cinnamon Nippard and Lori Uden, music composition by James Mangohig and mixing by Hamish Robertson. Johanna Bell is the Executive Producer.

Season One was created on Larrakia land in the tropical Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory with funding from National Science Week NT.

Introducing The Collection, a podcast that takes you back of house at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Step inside the dry stores, lift the lid on strange specimen jars and peek inside the deep freeze as we reveal a world of fascinating objects and the stories behind them.

MAGNT’s Curator of Territory History, Jared Archibald, says that “Museums collect objects, and objects tell stories”, and there’s no shortage of stories at MAGNT. Illegal hauls on the high seas, near misses during Cyclone Tracy and the accidental discovery of a strange new species are just some of the stories we unearth in this first season.

Over five episodes, The Collection blends science and storytelling to showcase the rare, wonderful and unexpected objects in Australia’s  Northern Territory museum.
