Known forIndigenous culturecommunity-runFederation Squareliving culture
A vital and often overlooked cultural institution in Federation Square dedicated to the living cultures of the Koorie peoples of south-eastern Australia. The permanent collection includes oral histories, artefacts, and contemporary art presented on Aboriginal community terms rather than through a colonial museum lens. Guided cultural walks along the Yarra are bookable and highly recommended as a complement to the gallery. It's a small space but carries significant cultural weight and is run by and for the community.
