Batmania

Batmania is a fun way to explore the people and events surrounding the foundation of Melbourne. Do the historical documents portray the true story? What were the motives of the main players? What was John Batman really like? Fact or fiction - you decide.

Objects from the Museum's collection featured in Batmania include the Batman Land Deed, the letter from Wedge to Batman and the letter from the Port Phillip Association to Lord Glenelg.
