SUMMARY:BALLART ANZACS: How Ballarat Remembers it’s ANZACS | A Talk with Garry Snowden
DESCRIPTION:The BMI has recently worked with Grimwade Conservation Services to perform urgently required conservation work on a number of significant items from the Heritage Victoria registered collection. This work was carried out as part of a  Victorian Government Living Heritage Grant awarded in 2021\, with work completed in December 2022. These items include original volumes of Australian plant specimen books compiled by Baron Ferdinand von Mueller\, and associated books written by von Mueller\, an original artwork known to have belonged to the BMI from the early days of the Institute and various other valuable books needing cleaning and restoration work. The primary exhibition will showcase these remarkable items within the Heritage listed building that is the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute. The proposed accompanying events will include creative programming to showcase this work\, the wider BMI collection and the historic building and introduce or re-introduce the wider public to “their” Institute. Invitations will be extended to other special interest organisations to bring their members to learn why Ballarat was considered an important centre for learning and knowledge sharing\, even in the 19th century. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Cost/Entry Fee: Free to BMI members | $5 for non-members 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Book here\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									View the full list of Ballarat Heritage Festival Events at the BMI 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Ballarat Heritage Festival | BMI\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        ANZAC Day | Ballarat Arch of Victory & Avenue of Honour\n                        ANZAC Day Feel the Spirits  The Arch of Victory Avenue... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        2026 BMI Appeal | Give now\n                        A message from the President Support the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week\n                        The Drowning Fiona Lowe Don’t miss Fiona at the BMI... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Ballarat National Theatre | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n                        Lots to dig about The Dog Logs by Evie Lamb\,... \n                    \n        \n    \n            \n                    \n                \n                    \n                    Load More

Invitations will be extended to other special interest organisations to bring their members to learn why Ballarat was considered an important centre for learning and knowledge sharing\, even in the 19th century. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Cost/Entry Fee: Free to BMI members | $5 for non-members 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Book here\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									View the full list of Ballarat Heritage Festival Events at the BMI 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Ballarat Heritage Festival | BMI\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        ANZAC Day | Ballarat Arch of Victory & Avenue of Honour\n                        ANZAC Day Feel the Spirits  The Arch of Victory Avenue... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        2026 BMI Appeal | Give now\n                        A message from the President Support the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week\n                        The Drowning Fiona Lowe Don’t miss Fiona at the BMI... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Ballarat National Theatre | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n                        Lots to dig about The Dog Logs by Evie Lamb\,... \n                    \n        \n    \n            \n                    \n                \n                    \n                    Load More

Invitations will be extended to other special interest organisations to bring their members to learn why Ballarat was considered an important centre for learning and knowledge sharing\, even in the 19th century. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Cost/Entry Fee: Free to BMI members | $5 for non-members 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Book here\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									View the full list of Ballarat Heritage Festival Events at the BMI 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Ballarat Heritage Festival | BMI\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        ANZAC Day | Ballarat Arch of Victory & Avenue of Honour\n                        ANZAC Day Feel the Spirits  The Arch of Victory Avenue... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        2026 BMI Appeal | Give now\n                        A message from the President Support the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week\n                        The Drowning Fiona Lowe Don’t miss Fiona at the BMI... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Ballarat National Theatre | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n                        Lots to dig about The Dog Logs by Evie Lamb\,... \n                    \n        \n    \n            \n                    \n                \n                    \n                    Load More

SUMMARY:Exhibition of Works | Geoff Roderick
DESCRIPTION:The BMI has recently worked with Grimwade Conservation Services to perform urgently required conservation work on a number of significant items from the Heritage Victoria registered collection. This work was carried out as part of a  Victorian Government Living Heritage Grant awarded in 2021\, with work completed in December 2022. These items include original volumes of Australian plant specimen books compiled by Baron Ferdinand von Mueller\, and associated books written by von Mueller\, an original artwork known to have belonged to the BMI from the early days of the Institute and various other valuable books needing cleaning and restoration work. The primary exhibition will showcase these remarkable items within the Heritage listed building that is the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute. The proposed accompanying events will include creative programming to showcase this work\, the wider BMI collection and the historic building and introduce or re-introduce the wider public to “their” Institute. Invitations will be extended to other special interest organisations to bring their members to learn why Ballarat was considered an important centre for learning and knowledge sharing\, even in the 19th century. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Cost/Entry Fee: Free to BMI members | $5 for non-members 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Book here\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									View the full list of Ballarat Heritage Festival Events at the BMI 								\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n										\n						\n									Ballarat Heritage Festival | BMI\n					\n					\n								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n																\n															\n															\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n            \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        ANZAC Day | Ballarat Arch of Victory & Avenue of Honour\n                        ANZAC Day Feel the Spirits  The Arch of Victory Avenue... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        2026 BMI Appeal | Give now\n                        A message from the President Support the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Rosemary’s Book of the Week\n                        The Drowning Fiona Lowe Don’t miss Fiona at the BMI... \n                    \n        \n    \n        \n            \n                \n            \n        Ballarat National Theatre | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n                        Lots to dig about The Dog Logs by Evie Lamb\,... \n                    \n        \n    \n            \n                    \n                \n                    \n                    Load More
