Every day, the Ask Us team at Museums Victoria is sent identification requests and questions about commonly misidentified “trickster” objects – we’re talking meteor-wrongs, pseudofossils and prizes that aren’t prizes.
Let’s get started!
What's that thing?
Museums Victoria acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung Bunurong peoples of the eastern Kulin Nations where we work, and First Peoples across Victoria and Australia.
First Peoples are advised that this site may contain voices, images, and names of people now passed and content of cultural significance.
Join the mailing list and get the latest from our Museums direct to your inbox.
We'd love to hear about your experience with our website. Our survey takes less than 10 minutes and entries go in a draw to win a $100 gift voucher at our online store!
