Description

The Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E.)

A museum dedicated to democracy, located at the site of the Eureka Rebellion in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.It opened on 4 May 2013 and replaced the previous Eureka Stockade Centre. MADE's launch in 2013 was hampered by budget overruns and long delays.

The Museum focused on the Eureka Stockade as the place of origin of Australia's democracy. The Museum housed the original Eureka Flag, upon which the rebels swore an oath to the flag as a symbol of defiance against the ruling colonial government. The flag was on loan from the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
