Students can take on the challenge to learn about the history of Melbourne through an Italian audio tour for intermediate and advanced language level, downloadable prior to the visit to the exhibition Melbourne Story.
The audio tour explores the various historical periods within the Melbourne Story exhibition with a focus on the overall description of the period, ‘gli oggetti simboli’ - key object and important historical events.
Teachers should listen to both audio series and then choose the appropriate level for their students.
