Description
Hair from a corpse, killer antidotes and photos of the dead; these are some of the objects held in the University of Melbourne’s twelve museums.  Join students from the Centre for Advancing Journalism on a revelatory journey of colonisation, fame, fortune, sex and death, as they break down the sandstone to unpack Australia’s hidden histories.  A museum is a place to tell stories.  But who gets to decide what stories are told?   Uncurated is a new seven-part series coming very soon from the Centre for Advancing Journalism.    Episode 1 will be released on October 14.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
