megOne of the great things about working in the Discovery Centre is that we can be asked a question on just about anything relating to (or not, as the case may be) the Museum’s collections and areas of research.
When we get questions that we consider particularly interesting, we like to publish them on our website as the Question of the Week on the assumption that other folk will find them as interesting as we did.
But then we also get the odd question that wildly misses the mark – certainly not fit to be called a Question of the Week, but which certainly deserves some attention. Our favourite so far is the request to use Phar Lap as a prop in a high school history presentation; but we have a new contender in the request for DC staff to confirm that the Museum is built to the dimensions of Noah’s Ark…
Melbourne Museum is one of the most modern and architecturally creative buildings around, so this is probably unlikely, but there’s a floorplan below for you to decide for yourselves. Although, not so sure about the Royal Exhibition Building…
(Besides, how would Noah have gone with the Evolution Gallery, I wonder?)
