First Peoples

Wominjeka. Welcome.

Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre respectfully acknowledges the traditional owners of Melbourne, the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung language groups of the greater Kulin nation.

Melbourne Museum is on land where Aboriginal people have lived, laughed, fought, married, dreamed and died for thousands of years. Now, in Bunjilaka, we tell the story of survival against the odds and celebrate our vibrant cultures through performances, storytelling, artwork and more.

There are number of experiences available for your guests when hosting your event in the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre

  • Traditional Smoking Ceremony
  • Traditional Welcome to Country
  • Guided Tour of our First Peoples Gallery
  • Expert Talk by First Peoples Team
  • Guided Tour of the Milarri Gardens

Speak to our team today to find out how we can include these experiences into your next event.
