Witness the unfolding of Canberra’s healthcare history in this unique project at Canberra Museum and Gallery (CMAG).

In collaboration with Canberra Health Services and the Royal Canberra Hospital History Group, CMAG is preserving a significant collection of historic objects from Canberra Hospital, dating back to its earliest days.

Watch as CMAG staff and volunteers sort and catalogue important items to add to the museum’s permanent collection. This is a rare opportunity to see behind the scenes of museum work, with the public invited to observe the process from Civic Square, offering a glimpse into the careful preservation of Canberra’s medical heritage.

Join us in this journey to safeguard, recognise and celebrate the objects people and stories that make up our healthcare history. Follow along online and discover the treasures unearthed in this extraordinary collection.
