But we do have Melbourne

Since his return to Melbourne in early July, the director has been engaged for much of the time in the relocation of the Museum - a dismal but necessary chore made necessary by unpleasant external forces which have been alluded to elsewhere.

Unfortunately the move has meant the Museum has had to suspend its popular display programme. Fortunately most of the completed works have been successfully relocated to temporary premises courtesy of the Kitchener Institute. Despite the current inconvenience there is nevertheless a small benefit to be found among all the disruption, in that the enforced furlough now provides an opportunity for maintenance and repairs which had been a tad neglected. There has also been a necessary culling of the museum's research material.

We hope that the Director has not felt rejected, deserted, or just plain ignored due to the lack of recent comment.

We do visit the site often, and we read your announcements, as well as your blog, whenever they appear.

It's just that we've had nowt to say.

Closure of omne of Australia's cultural treasures is a great shame, even if it is only temporary.
