Part of My Past: Objects as Identity, to Jan 5
Using artifacts drawn from more than 30 Victoria homes and collections, this exhibit will be equal parts object and story. Everything from rare maps, to an extraordinary painting or two, a Rococo mirror, a mask by Richard Hunt and a giant mosquito from Zimbabwe - all of these share one principal characteristic: they speak volumes about their past, and that of their present owners.
This is an exhibit about memory - the memory many of us embed in objects. It has been designed to promote dialogue between you and your children, between the objects and perfect strangers, between like-minded collectors and people who have never thought of objects this way before.
