Bringing the House Down: 12 Months of Australian Political Cartoons
This exhibition is a wickedly funny, often poignant exhibition of Australian political cartoons and illustrations. It surveys the most tumultuous moments of recent public life including the refugee crisis, the Election and the War Against Terrorism.
Bringing the House Down has been developed by the National Museum of Australia. It presents the best selection of work entered in the 2001 Political Humour Competition and is part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
