The Victorian Rooms

Our Victorian Rooms showcase collections in the context of a nineteenth century replica bedroom, sitting room, and kitchen. 

Each room provides a fascinating insight into the function of the Victorian home. The rooms relate to different types of homes showing how European settler families lived over 100 years ago.
