The Place for Indigenous Art and Culture
The Place for Indigenous Art and Culture (The Place) is a signature project of Murmuk Djerring, the University of Melbourne’s Indigenous Strategy 2023-2027, and a major investment in reconciliation, education and conservation of Indigenous knowledges for future generations.
It will be an international exemplar in the collaborative care of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander material seeking strong Indigenous-led practices, aiming to future proof access to Indigenous knowledges and collections for communities of origin and the public.
The Place will comprise a new purpose-built building on the site of the former Brownless Biomedical Library, the refurbishment of the former Vice-Chancellor’s Residence and a range of outdoor spaces including a new ceremonial space in the centre of the Parkville campus.
