Episode description
The Shrine Stories podcast takes you on a deep dive behind the objects on our gallery floor.
Just before Anzac Day in 1971, Melburnians woke to the news that the Shrine had been graffitied. Officials were understandably furious, but the identities of those involved remained a mystery.
Shrine curator Kate Spinks-Colas joins us on this episode to unpack what happened, and why.
