Skint - Making do in the Great Depression

Exhibitions and Shows

Skint - Making do in the Great Depression - Sydney, New South Wales    


The 1930s was a time of great hardship when many people lived on the breadline, making do in tough times. Yet community spirit was high where reusing and recycling, growing vegetables and raising chooks, playing with makeshift toys, and bartering were part of daily life. Discover how Sydneysiders lived during the Great Depression, listen to personal stories of heartbreak and humour, and explore the key events and personalities of the period.

Bring your kids for dress-ups and the billycart quiz.

Free admission for seniors on the opening weekend 27 and 28 March.
