Don't Keep History a MysteryVisit MoAD during Reconciliation Week and join us for a new tour which considers the experiences of Indigenous Australians within our democracy. Stories will be shared of how Indigenous Australians and their supporters have explored different pathways to bring about changes, many of which led them here - the seat of Federal Parliament between 1927 and 1988. Tours will run between 27 May and 2 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in Australia's reconciliation journey - the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision in 1992. Tours are free after general museum admission however bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
