Making Melbourne 

Description

Be enthralled, engaged and inspired by the moving story of Melbourne. Few other colonial outposts have aspired to such grand heights as Melbourne, just as few other international metropolises conceal such murky or seedy pasts. Since pastoralist John Batman stepped ashore in 1835 and swindled the local indigenous population out of their land, the city has witnessed more than its share of opulence, decadence and political misadventure. Making Melbourne reveals the rich and unique chemistry of the city once known as ‘Bearbrass’, with a narrative arch spanning from Batman’s swashbuckling arrival to the invention of the Bionic Ear. Presented through a dynamic combination of significant artefacts, images and audio/visual technology and housed within the historic environs of the Old Treasury’s sumptuous interiors, Making Melbourne charts the exhilarating story of this magnificent city.
