Bunjilaka

  • Aboriginal
  • Museum

Melbourne Museum's Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre is a place for visitors to learn about Aboriginal culture.

Through performances, exhibitions, storytelling and artwork, visitors to Bunjilaka can take a journey through Aboriginal history, discover stories of survival, be illuminated by the connection to land, and celebrate Victoria's vibrant Aboriginal cultures.

Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre was planned in collaboration with many Aboriginal people, including the traditional owners of Melbourne, the Boonwurrung and the Woi wurrung. The name Bunjilaka was chosen as it means 'the place of Bunjil', evoking a sense of ongoing creation.

Bunjilaka is open daily except Good Friday and Christmas Day.
