Step into an enchanting world of vibrant colour, boundless curiosity, and rich culture as you journey through Empress Joséphine’s Garden.
Your immersive adventure into this captivating digital experience awaits you at the WA Maritime Museum, where it’s making its global debut.
A modern, immersive, and 360-degree digital experience, the exhibition unveils the little-known story of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte’s garden in Paris. Discover how it was filled with flora and fauna from around the globe, including black swans, kangaroos, emus, and hundreds of exotic plants from Western Australia.
Weaving together a shared history between France and Australia, this digital experience explores themes of power, wealth, and the thrill of scientific discovery in the 19th century—all through the eyes of socialite, amateur botanist, and the Empress of France—Joséphine Bonaparte.
Explore the magic of Empress Joséphine's Garden—on now until Sunday 11 May!
