Melbourne Museum
A very nice museum. Our daughter especially wanted us to see the Aboriginal exhibit, which she visited with one of her Melbourne University classes. There was a strong focus on the history, and the treatment of Aboriginal people by the white government. Many similarities to how we treated the indigenous population here, although it was surprising to learn that the government didn’t stop trying to remove Aboriginal children from their families and culture until the 1970s.
