Firewood rationing in Victoria during World War II hit the poor very hard as they often used wood for both cooking and heating! This rationing would also lead to persistent shortage in clothes pegs, and limited supplies of matches. #Museum30 #Winter oldtreasurybuilding.org.au/w…

An artistic collaboration 150 years in the making! We don't think Charles Nettleton could have imagined in 1862 what Melbourne would look like when Michael Silver replicated his photographs from the top of Parliament House in 2012. #CreatorsMW #MuseumWeek

Women’s rights campaigning began in Victoria in the 1880s. Their focus was gaining the vote, but they were also concerned about access to education, about violence against women, and about exploitation of women in the workforce. #InternationalWomensDay
