Today we reopened the #royalexhibitionbuilding dome promenade to regular public access for the first time in over a century. I've worked with some wonderful people to help make this happen and built on the work of many others who have come before me #worldheritage #thisismymv

Excited share this acquisition that I worked on earlier in the year. It's been wonderful to work with the team at @western_health on this important story, which marks the beginning of the slow shift to living with covid.

Victoria, congratulations on 70%! ❤️ To mark this milestone, we're sharing this vial and syringe, which administered the first doses at the @Melair Vaccination Hub operated by @western_health. These items were acquired into the State Collection as part of #CollectingTheCurve.
