What’s happening at the @migration_museum

  • This diary was written by Peggy Bass during her migration to Australia from the UK in 1954. The family travelled on the 'Otranto' over the Christmas period. Peggy notes for the 24 December: ‘Christmas Eve and the weather very warm. Quite unnatural. Now in the first half of the Suez….The children have just realised its Xmas Eve and are beginning to get excited. Fred and I went down to the baggage room and got their Christmas presents out and hid them in a suitcase.’ What are your migration memories?

  • 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
