Today and every day we pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live, work and play, the Wadawurrung people. We pay respects to their Elders past, present and future. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations people and their continuous and inseparable connection to the land, its waterways and skies. Visitors should be aware that this museum may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or printed material.
