Absolutely gorgeous. Mum and I loved it. As this is a positive review it will get published by Google. If I had a bad experience at this place - based on my experience - Google reviews wouldn't publish it. Just so it's clear the above remark is in no way directed towards Bunjilaka but towards Google reviews. Basically if you write a positive review (because you had a positive experience) it gets published but if you had a negative experience you can check a year later and chances are your negative review didn't get through. This is especially true for medical and aged care. I've seen negative comments towards receptionists and cleaners but never someone powerful - like a doctor. Hence you cannot trust Google reviews in respect to medical services. The dodgiest doctors will have a 5 star rating from multiple accounts who have given NO details. Probably staff being forced to put up the reviews.

  • Myra Scholze

Very thoughtful and informative exhibit. I really appreciated how all the information was told by indigenous perspectives. The information is heartbreaking but so important. Very educational and worth a visit to the museum in itself! This area is within the Melbourne Museum and access is gained with a general admission ticket, which is $15 for general public or free for concession.

  • Rebecca

This is a must-see. It is a thoughtfully curated exhibit through history, about indigenous people's experiences and stories. There were some very harrowing and heartbreaking segments related to the arrival of white settlers. I feel like this should be in mandatory education.

this place offers educational and interesting content to learn about aboriginals across australia. i enjoyed my experience and encourage my friends to go to this place too. if youre a teacher and thinking about bringing a class here, its not a bad idea at all.

Great museum is full of interesting and well-displayed exhibits. You can follow a historic path of Australia. Some of it is harrowing and reverent.

Nicely displayed, but I wish it was more extensive and detailed. The thousands-of-years old Aboriginal culture certainly deserves it, just like the interested visitors. However, what is there is quite good and well presented.

  • Morgan Ræ

What a wånderful center to discover in the Melbourne Museum which had an exhibition Gung by Kelly Koumalatsos who took a tradition and created her own through the possum skin and fashion. Highly recommend a visit to both!

  • peter kop

Fantastic museum. One of the best in the nation. Wonderful displays and exhibitions. I particularly enjoyed the Blue Whale skeleton. The insect display and Phar Lap were also amazing. Very highly recommended

  • Chloë Faye

I found this exhibition to be from the perspective of white Australians and it didn't feel authentic. The whole experience was a bit off

  • t raven

When a Gundtijmara man shows you through, and points out all the people who have made Victoria...you feel like royalty!

  • Victor Bernabei

Pretty cool. Would be interested to learn more about how the Aborigines came to Australia
