Cultural Museum
VISION
The proposed Museum of History and Identity seeks to reinvigorate the history exhibition while also enriching
its contents with themes of identity. The narration of history through a collection of personal stories of change,
struggle and achievements, will build upon the current Museum’s contents which revolve around the eighteenth
century Voyage of La Perouse. However, by providing a level platform for the voices of La Perouse’s various
ethnic communities, the proposed Museum explores the complex interwoven nature of its history from a variety
of perspectives.
The notion of ‘identity’ and its constituents are investigated, enabling the viewer to access a deeper
understanding of the local community, its visitors, and ultimately, of the self.
