Meet the curator
Anna Cossu has been with Museums of History NSW (formerly the Historic Houses Trust of NSW) for more than 20 years. She is the long-term curator of the Susannah Place house museum and has curated major exhibitions at the Museum of Sydney, including Painting The Rocks: The Loss of Old Sydney, Street Photography and How to Move a Zoo. Her great passion is people and their stories, and how museums can best craft an experience that reveals something intrinsic and true of those lives and communities.
