Eureka! I’ve found it.

Eureka Diaorama

Eureka, you’ve found it!!  Come in to the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute library and see our Pop-up Eureka activity this week, commemorating 170 years since the battle took place. Experience and direct this moving diorama depicting the Eureka battle, conceptualised, designed and constructed by the team at Human Designs. Thanks to Zlatko Balazic and John McKee for allowing us to present this engaging artwork in our heritage building.

While you’re in, don’t forget to check out our book sale- perfect for Christmas shopping! Books are selling fast!!

Why not add in a BMI calendar as well.
