ABOUT ROBERT MENZIES: THE MAN WHO MADE MODERN AUSTRALIA

Curated by historian Alex McDermott and designed by UP, this exhibition anchors the Australian story in the life of Australia’s longest-serving Prime Minister.

It reveals the liberal values that Menzies championed – of home, education and civic duty – through personal artefacts, photographs and objects from his life. The exhibition preserves the era which gave birth to modern Australia and showcases the critical ways in which Robert Menzies transformed the nation.
