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.

An oil painting lost in a storeroom for decades, a dusty student card, a misplaced animal skull; these are some of the objects in the University of Melbourne's twelve museums. Each was forgotten in a different way. Join students from the Centre for Advancing Journalism on a journey of unforgetting as they ask why some objects - or people - are lost from history. And what that says about Australia.
