Connections to Home is the first solo exhibition of carvings and paintings by revered Barkindji and Ngiyampaa Elder, Uncle Colin (Col) Clark.
This exhibition showcases fifty of Uncle Col’s crafted artworks, including spears, shields, clubs, tapping sticks, digging sticks, boomerangs, didgeridoos, painted emu eggs, bowls, and paintings created over the past 20 years.
Connections to Home demonstrates Uncle Col’s deep knowledge of wood and carving as a cultural practice that connects him to Country and home, but also to his Ancestors and the ongoing legacy expressed through his Marra or hands in Barkindji as he has been nicknamed.
The exhibition explores six overarching themes, developed by Uncle Col and his collaborators: Reading Country; The River is the lifesource; A growing family; Connecting to Ancestors; The wood tells me; and Healing and medicine.Coming Home is a compelling solo exhibition by Dr. Jenny Murray-Jones of up to 25 of her paintings from KHTs unique and importance Collections of Victorian First Peoples Art and Cultural belongings and recent works by Dr. Murray-Jones.
Murray-Jones is a Yorta Yorta and Baraparapa artist. Her work offers a poignant exploration of family reconnection, delving into themes of Country, Kinship, and the enduring impact of colonisation and institutional life.
Through her rich and emotive use of colour and texture, Murray-Jones captures both the beauty and complexity of her family’s journey.
Her works tell stories of resilience, loss, and the healing power of reconnecting with family and Country. Each piece invites viewers into the artist’s personal history, where moments of joy and pain are intertwined, reflecting the strength of her cultural identity and the deep connections that bind her to her Ancestors and Country.
This exhibition, which coincides with National Reconciliation Week 2025 (27 May-3 June) offers a unique opportunity to engage with Murray-Jones powerful depictions of the Stolen Generations and intimate family moments, bringing to life her personal narrative and cultural research in a deeply moving and thought-provoking way.

Best Things to Do

The Puffing Billy steam train is really great! Sitting in the retro carriage, listening to the whistle, passing through dense forests and valleys. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and you can stick your feet out of the window and wave and interact with the enthusiastic residents. It feels like being in a fairy tale world. This unique journey makes people forget their troubles and is extremely comfortable.

After a 10-year absence, I accompanied my friends to the 88th floor of Melbourne&#39;s Eureka! 🌈
I went to the restaurant on the 89th floor once in the middle. It seems to be my third time here [Deyi] There is a new project downstairs VR

I went to the museum on a whim. The ticket purchasing experience was excellent, as you could use the tickets as you went, and the price was better than at the venue. The museum isn&#39;t large, but the exhibits are well-designed, with a great combination of audiovisual equipment. In the Aboriginal exhibition area, each exhibit has a text description, pictures, and videos showing how it&#39;s used and what it&#39;s like to experience life. These made it easier to understand the purpose of the exhibits and learn more about Aboriginal life. There were also various props for experiencing the exhibits. I happened to catch an insect dance activity when I went, and a large group of children were happily singing and dancing in the lobby on the first floor.

Nice place for children and adults. Our favorites were an alligator and penguins. Good experience.

Lovely place to walk past on the way to the Melbourne museum. This time of the year, there&rsquo;s autumn leaves covering the walkways. There is even a small pond with some ducks in the corner. And right in front of the royal exhibition hall, there is a fountain where sometimes you will catch couples taking their wedding photos here.
