First Nations’ Views of Endeavour Voyage come to life in exhibition

Endeavour Voyage: The Untold Stories of Cook and the First Australians 
Daily until 26 April 2021, 9.00 am–5 pm FREE, Timed ticketing

If you live in Canberra, or are visiting the nation’s capital, the National Museum of Australia is showing an exhibition about Cook’s 1770 voyage to Australia. Until now we have only ever heard or read about the views of Cook and other British people about the voyage. This exhibition includes  the untold stories of Cook’s voyage from the points of view of First Nations Peoples. You can also take part online in the interactive parts of the exhibition.
