Celebrating Heritage Week with Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West & Maribyrnong Library

Join the Australian Heritage Festival with Maribyrnong Library and Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West for an in-depth exploration of The Logic of Logistics. This exhibition examines how Australia developed the capability to defend itself, highlighting the contributions of women, scientists, and workers in the defence industry.

Meet Andy Calvert, the exhibition’s co-creator, and gain insight into the munitions industries through his tools and artefacts. The Library will also showcase local history and family research resources to help you uncover your heritage. Celebrate Maribyrnong’s rich history and connect with your community—everyone is welcome!
