Museum Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Museum Victoria is an organization which operates three museums in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. These three museums are Melbourne Museum, Immigration Museum and Scienceworks Museum. It also manages the Royal Exhibition Building and a storage facility in Moreland.
The museum traces its history back to the establishment of the National Museum of Victoria in 1854 under the directorship of Frederick McCoy. It was founded in its current form under the Australian Museums Act (1983). The collections of around 16 million objects cover indigenous items, science, history and technology.
The present Chief Executive Officer of Museum Victoria is Dr Patrick Green.
