A journey through time

A new exhibition is being shown at the Sunbury Hume Global Learning Centre, offering a step back into the past.

Pastimes: The Evolution of Leisure, features pieces from the Hume Civic Collection, and features reflections of the past, and how times have changed over the past 150 years.

The exhibition extends across two areas, including the Heritage Vitrine and the Gallery Box Cases in the centre.

The exhibition is designed to ‘pause time’ for a moment, so viewers can enjoy reflecting on the changing nature of how people play and enjoy the world.

Hume council community development officer arts and culture Anna Clabburn said the display is there for the community to get a glimpse into the past of Sunbury, Bulla and the wider Hume area.

“We tried to put as much in there as we possibly could, to give the community a lot to look at and celebrate the range of items and photos that are in the collection,” she said.

She encouraged the community to come on down and find out more about the collection.

“If people are interested or have research inquiries … the best thing to do is to make an appointment and come and have a look at the collection and engage with the volunteers,” she said.

The exhibition is just a snapshot of the much wider Hume Civic Collection, with many of it stored at the centre.

Pastimes is on display now, until Thursday 30 April.
