Museums Victoria celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004. To honour the occasion over 80 of the most significant, beautiful and intriguing objects from the museum's vast collections were on display with Melbourne Museum presenting the flagship exhibits and smaller displays exhibited at the Immigration Museum and Scienceworks.
From Phar Lap to fencing wire, Aboriginal artworks to the Giant Gippsland Earthworm, Treasures of the Museum spans the familiar and the unfamiliar, the priceless and the everyday.
