What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • British Migrant Stories (2/2): This hand-knitted suit was made from a Vogue magazine pattern book. The donor brought it with her belongings to Australia when she migrated from the UK in the 1960s. Unfortunately the dress proved too warm to wear while living at Woomera. Object: Suit, Migration Museum collection, donated by Marion Evans. #museumfromhome #migrationstories
  • British Migrant Stories (1/2): This booklet is part of an immigration information folder prepared in 1964 by the Australian Department of Immigration for prospective British immigrants. ‘A Woman’s Angle on Australia’ contains information on matters considered of concern to women such as women in public life, school facilities, and what clothes to bring: ‘Take all clothes you have, including overcoats and waterproofs. Australia has a beautiful climate, but in most parts the winter days, and nights particularly, can be quite cold. You will not to renew your winter wardrobe in Australia as often as you did at home, but you would be well advised to take what you have. This applies to clothes for the whole family.’ Object: Booklet, Migration Museum collection. #museumfromhome #migrationstories

  • Museums around the world are brightening each other's day with flower related objects/prints in their collections. Thanks @fuma_museum for brightening our day! ... Would you believe that these flowers are covers of menus. They were onboard the RHMS 'Britanis', owned and run by the Greek shipping company Chandris Lines. This particular trip was taken from March to April 1973. Image: "Ship's Menu" HT.1998.0005. Six menu cards with a different flower type on each menu. Underneath each flower is its name along with the word "menu" in blue on the bottom right corner. #museumbouquet🌷 #Flowers #MigrationMuseum
