Our Story

NSI Museum on Minjerribah is a social history museum emphasising contemporary collecting. The museum’s objective and rationale is to represent the 65,000 years or so of Aboriginal history, the British invasion and colonisation and a complex shared history of less than 200 years. Our Walking Together program is an active process to properly engage with, document and display the shared journey of living together on Minjerribah and that the museum is on unceded Quandamooka Lands. The essence is that our social history is Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal; sometime in conflict; sometime in cooperation.
