Virtual experience: Phar Lap

Phar Lap is Australia’s most famous racehorse and has been on display at the Museum for nearly 90 years.

We use items from the Museums Victoria collection to tell the story of Phar Lap including his career to his importance in the Museum’s collection. Residents will be encouraged to participate in activities and share their memories if they feel comfortable.
