Landmarks: People and Places across Australia, 2011
In 2011 a major new exhibition gallery Landmarks: People and Places across Australia (formerly known as Creating a Country) will replace the current Nation program at the National Museum.

Landmarks will trace a broad history of Australia since European colonisation of the continent in the late eighteenth century.
See the concept design for the gallery, read about key objects that will be featured and hear from National Museum staff about what they're currently working on as part of the gallery's development.
The National Museum of Australia is putting together an exhibition to tell some of the stories of those who experienced institutional care as children.
It will be a voice for those Australians and a chance for others to understand something of what their fellow Australians went through.
