Baillieu Library

The Robert Menzies Institute, established in 2021 and located in the historic Old Quadrangle of the University of Melbourne, serves as a centre dedicated to promoting the study of 20th-century Australian history through the life and legacy of Sir Robert Menzies, Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister. It fosters a unique partnership with the University, facilitating research, education, and public engagement through exhibitions, conferences, events, and a weekly podcast, Afternoon Light. The Institute aims to bridge the gap between academic study and civic engagement, offering resources and support for both students and the general public. Through its current exhibitions and events, it encourages the exploration of Australian history while celebrating the contributions of Menzies and his era. Generated from the website
