Join a whimsical, life-size illustrated exhibition telling the incredible story of Marea Bright, a world-class milliner and Wagga Wagga character.
Marea likes hats. Her mother takes her to Melbourne to find the perfect hat for the Gold Cup race day in Wagga Wagga, opening her eyes to the world of millinery.
