About
William Strutt’s Victoria the Golden: Sketches of Early MelbournePresented by: Parliament of Victoria

Victoria’s Parliamentary Library is the second oldest library in Victoria. The highlight of its collection is William Strutt’s illustrated album Victoria the Golden.
Strutt arrived in Melbourne in 1850 and captured key events in the colony, from the goldrush to the departure of the Burke and Wills expedition. Later, in England, he compiled his sketches into albums, aware of their historical importance.
Join Alisa Bunbury, art historian and curator, to learn about Strutt and his years in Victoria, followed by a rare viewing of the album, alongside other Strutt material held by the Library.
