Term One 2020 Calendar

A Decade in a Year - The 1920s in Albany

Tuesday 24 March

Cultural institutions, including the State museums, are closed to the public, and as a consequence, Tuesday Curatorials have been temporarily suspended.

The 1920s in Albany was a decade of heightened optimism after the trauma of war had concluded. Tourism ventures, a new newspaper and the opening of the Albany Woollen Mills were highlights to be explored.

Presented by Malcolm Traill, Programs Officer, Museum of the Great Southern.

Maritime Albany Remembered - Tales of the Douglas family

Tuesday, 31 March

Cultural institutions, including the State museums, are closed to the public, and as a consequence, Tuesday Curatorials have been temporarily suspended.

Douglas is a name synonymous with seafaring along the WA coastline, and we will discuss some prominent members of the family which first arrived in WA in 1853 and whose name is remembered in Perth and Albany.

Presented by Malcolm Traill and Ross Shardlow, Marine Artist.

Quarrelsome Souls - Great arguments in Albany's history

Tuesday, 7 April

Cultural institutions, including the State museums, are closed to the public, and as a consequence, Tuesday Curatorials have been temporarily suspended.

All small towns seem to breed good arguments or grudges, and Albany is no exception. We will look at the genesis and the outcomes of some of these disagreements and find out who won, and who lost!

Presented by Malcolm Traill, Programs Officer, Museum of the Great Southern.
