Curator's tour of The changing face of Victoria

02 February 2022

Take a walk around the reimagined The changing face of Victoria exhibition with one of its curators, Linda Short.

The changing face of Victoria explores the spirit of activism and invention, and its impact on modern Victoria, through four everyday themes: water, workers’ rights, camping and coffee.

On showcase are more than 150 objects, artworks and photographs that reveal the large and small ways we can all make a difference in shaping our world. 90 per cent of these collection items have never been exhibited before.

The changing face of Victoria closes its doors to the public at 5pm on Sunday 6 February 2022, but the online exhibition will continue to be accessible through the Library's website.

Watch the video above for a look at the display through its curator's eyes.
