which began with the constuon of the MCA in May 1989. This

many starng points for case studies and curriculum development

in the years to come. Museum educators will guide parcipants

Marking Time is an exhibion that explores the ways

in which arsts visualise me and its passing, across diverse media,

sound and light. An international exhibition selected by MCA
