| dc.description.abstract | In 2007 the Macleay Museum celebrated Linnaeus’s 300th year with the exhibition "Rational Order". The exhibition included over five hundred animals from the Macleay collections. We only selected animals that had been described by Linnaeus, and arranged them according to Linnaeus’s system. That is his order of the Regnum animalia (animal kingdom) set out in the major revision of Systema Naturae of 1758 into six classes: Mammalia (mammals) Aves (birds), Amphibia (including reptiles, snakes and turtles), Pisces (fishes), Insecta (insects and crabs) and Vermes (soft-bodied organisms). The "Rational Order" exhibition included an essay about Linneaus and the Macleay family legacy by Jim Endersby. Jude Philp curated the exhibition with assistance of Elizabeth Jefferys. Accompanying the exhibition was an ecological response by poet John Bennett and a Muruwari response from Roy Barker Jnr. | en |
