  • To begin National Reconciliation Week we want to acknowledge that our museum exists on Kaurna Yerta. Although we live and work on this land together we acknowledge that our experiences of this place have been and continue to be vastly different. #NRW2020 #InThisTogether2020
  • ‘This recipe was a little challenge! I was intrigued by the recipe written in pencil on the back of egg - ration cards from Austria in 1947. This item is part of a collection of documents relating to the immigration of Maria and Wenzel Walla and their four children to Australia from the refugee camp Hellbrunn in Salzburg, Austria, in 1955. It was really hard to read the old German handwriting which also includes shorthand. I worked it out with a little help of my dad. It’s a recipe for Spritzgebaeck – German shortbread biscuits. I remember my grandma making these for Christmas. Mine don’t look like Spritzgebaeck at all, as I didn’t have a cookie press or piping bag to squeeze them into the right shape. They still tasted great with a cup of tea on a grey Sunday afternoon.’ – Birgit, Curator Object: Ration coupons, 1994.0113. #MondayYumDay #MigrationMuseumCollection
  • For National Archaeology Week, we dug out this single gold earring from our State History collection. It was found during an archaeological excavation of Queen's Theatre, Gilles Arcade, in 1989. The Queen's Theatre is the oldest surviving theatre building in mainland Australia and was constructed in 1840 by the brothers Vaiben and Emanuel Solomon. However, the theatre was not very successful and closed its doors a year later. Since then, the building has had many different uses and has again been used as a performance space since 1996. How is the earring connected to the early theatre times? Was it worn by a person from the audience or was it used as a theatre prop?
