The Museums Victoria Research Institute is among the world’s leading research organisations and has an international reputation as a trusted source of knowledge and insight. We draw on history, contemporary science and First Peoples knowledge systems to expand our understanding of our rapidly changing world and influence policy outcomes on urgent local and global challenges.

 

The research undertaken by the Museums Victoria Research Institute focuses on eleven major impact areas:

• First Peoples’ knowledge systems
• Biodiversity and ecosystems
• Contemporary history
• Technology and design
• Geology and mineralogy
• Decolonisation methodologies
• Historic land use, agriculture and employment 
• Archaeology
• Palaeontology
• Health and healing
• Materials’ science, conservation and preservation

Each year our groundbreaking research is shared with communities across Victoria and around the world through our network of museums, across our partnerships with universities internationally, via our education programs and across our digital channels that reach millions of people.
