AN original wanted poster for Ned Kelly and a letter from Captain James Cook are among 60 relics and rare books that will go on public display for the first time in Sydney.
The items are featured in a new gallery at the State Library of NSW showcasing the personal collection of Sir William Dixson.
The AMAZE gallery was built with the support of Australian manufacturer Michael Crouch, who donated $1.4 million to the library.
It will open with the Dixson 60 exhibition on April 11 and primarily showcase the library's acquisitions and celebrate historic anniversaries.
Sir William - whose generosity earned him a library wing and gallery bearing his name - bequeathed his extensive collection to the library in 1952.
The Dixson 60 exhibition also includes rare letters and diaries, including a journal from the First Fleet, as well as sea atlases and maps produced centuries ago and a copy of the 1918 children's book The Magic Pudding.
