Melbourne

Comes out of Melbourne Museums permanent exhibition, 'The Melbourne Story'.

Melbourne: a city of stories grew out of Melbourne Museum's permanent exhibition, 'The Melbourne Story'. That makes it a selective history: one based on objects—things that have survived.

The idea that objects can give rise to stories comes as no surprise to anyone who's ever dug up a shard of old china in their garden, or found an ancient button down the back of a chair.
