Euan McGillivray is the guest curator for the exhibition at the Post Office Gallery, Modern Revolution - Bendigo and the 1960s. He interviewed a number of Bendigonians who were here in the 1960s. They provided observations and insights of the time when the local population was only 35,000, the world was concerned about nuclear war, the twist dance craze took off, we became involved in the Vietnam war, the first set of traffic lights in Mitchell Street saw people driving around the block for another chance to use them, and the contraceptive pill changed forever the lives of many women.
Euan has over thirty-five years experience as a museum curator and manager. He developed collections and exhibitions at Museum Victoria and was instrumental in the establishment of Scienceworks, Melbourne Museum and the Immigration Museum.
