Abstract
AbstractMuseums are wrestling with their past and exhibitions provide important spaces to create new dialogues and include previously excluded voices. This review examines two exhibitions from 2021 at museums in Sydney, Australia – Unsettled at the Australian Museum and Eucalyptusdom at the nearby Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences – as these exhibits are significant markers of fundamental changes in Australian museum practice. It examines how these museums sought to disrupt the colonial bias in their historical collections and tell new stories of settlement and place. It considers the way that voice, particularly the voice of Indigenous communities and creative practitioners helped to challenge how history could be told and the authority of the museums.
