This exhibition team was led by Scientist Joseph Bevitt, Curator Deborah Lawler-Dormer and Lead Engineer Tomasz Bednarz”. The exhibition also features digital 3D models of some of the collection objects and a digital reconstruction of the missing portions of a fragmentary carpet done with Artificial Intelligence. These portions were completed by with our EPICentre at UNSW.
