Victorians on vacation
From sea-bathing and skiing to boating and bush-camping, Victorians on vacation celebrated holidays and leisure in our state since the 19th century.
Revealing how our holiday habits have changed over time, the exhibition traced the postwar rise of the affordable family car and compared styles of holiday accommodation, from grand 19th-century hotels to fibro beach-shacks and caravans.
The Victorians on vacation exhibition was held from November 2007 to March 2008.
