The First Peoples exhibition, at Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre at Melbourne Museum, is a shared endeavour of Museums Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal community. The First Peoples Yulendj Group of Elders and community representatives have brought their knowledge, stories, culture, objects and images to guide the exhibition's development.
Yulendj is a Kulin word for 'knowledge and intelligence'. Yulendj comprises a group of 16 respected community members and Elders from across Victoria.
The development of the exhibition has been a rich collaboration between Museums Victoria and a wide range of Koorie community members across Victoria and Indigenous community members across Australia.
Many Nations contains nearly 500 objects from across Australia, showcasing the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Generations presents community voice linked to four themes: Connection, Resilience, Family and Culture.
