What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • It’s play time! We created chatterbox fun for you to explore stories and objects in the British Migrants – Instant Australians? exhibition. Come and visit us. Sheila Howell received this farewell card when she left for Australia back in 1964. People either thought she would never return to England or she’d be back within a few weeks. Did she go back to England or did she stay? Bon Voyage card, Museums Victoria collection, on display at the Migration Museum #MigrantStories #SchoolHolidays
  • The curators are having a break from baking for #MondayYamDays. Instead we will be trawling through our collection to dig out some musical treats. #MusicMondays This accordion belonged to Vladimir Podnar, who was born in former Yugoslavia and lived in Germany as a displaced person after WWII. Music has been very important to Vladimir who received a Military Exit Permit to migrate to Australia in 1948 because of his musical abilities. He played the accordion for his whole life and it was his most treasured possession. How important is music in your life? #MigrationMuseumCollection Accordion, HT 2018.0039
  • Some of our staff will be at tomorrows Black Lives Matter rally. At the end we are hoping to document and collect placards, masks, t-shirts or whatever you have brought. These materials and stories will be added to our collection for future generations. See you there! #BlackLivesMatter #BlakLivesMatter #AboriginalLivesMatter #StateHistoryCollection #MigrationMuseumCollection #WorldMovementsAndActivism
  • This notebook was used by Esmeralda Yates to record recipes when she was cooking at the Gawler and Gepps Cross Migrant hostels. The Yates family had migrated from England in 1951. The handwritten recipes listed are all in large quantities as served at the hostels with an emphasis on ‘British’ style food such as sultana cake, rhubarb cake, Christmas pudding and other desserts. What would you choose for dessert, apple pie or jam tart? #MondayYamDay #MigrantStories #MigrationMuseumCollection Recipe book, HT 2014.0124
