Cretaceous Carnivores
Tyrannosaurus rex is arguably the most famous carnivore who ever lived - but did you know that Victoria also had its share of meat-eating beasts in the Cretaceous?

Rainbow Threads exhibition on now at Melbourne Museum
Rainbow Threads is an exhibition that celebrates the diversity of styles and stories that live within the Museum’s clothing and textile collections. Showcasing a selection of recent acquisitions, they reflect the inclusive nature of museums in the 21st-century in both the objects we collect and the narratives that we tell. Behind the glitz and the glamour on show, are stories of struggle, determination and triumph that deserve to be told.
