I put a question mark since I can't find any information on the MM's site itself.

Alas, laŭ http://sa.esperanto.org.au/ (Esperanta asocio de Sudaŭstralio), there's an exhibition for Esperanto there. Not sure if I'll go yet, but I'm gonna try and rope in my family somehow.

Ah, awesome, it's a whole 3 months? Probably why it's not on the museum's site itself.

Saves me having to rush okulumo.gif
Thanks for that Evildela!

On the migration museum's website

Esperanto: Promoting Everyone’s Language
(the link is ironically "East Turkistan Uighur Culture – A history of the Uighur people of South Australia", not "Esperanto" lol)
Presented by Esperanto in South Australia
On now until 24 November 2011

Help celebrate the centenary of the first national congress on Esperanto being held in Adelaide.

Esperanto is a 'planned' language shared by South Australians from various cultural backgrounds.

Did you know that the first Australian congress on Esperanto was held at the University of Adelaide 100 years ago? To mark this anniversary, Esperanto in South Australia is holding an exhibition in ‘The Forum’, the Migration Museum’s community gallery.

Back in 1911, Adelaide Mayor, Sir Lewis Cohen, noted that: 'The intention of Esperantists was not to think any less of their mother tongue, but to cultivate a general knowledge of a universal tongue, which would be of great assistance to all mankind’.

100 years on, South Australia’s Esperantists continue to 'promote everyone’s language' by encouraging people to adopt Esperanto as a second, international language.

The exhibition was launched by the University of Adelaide’s new Professor of Linguistics and Endangered Languages, Ghil'ad Zuckermann.
Yay for University of Adelaide, down the bottom! (I could rant on about language and humanities course problems at Adelaide universities ad nauseam here though)

Now it shows Esperanto on the website and not any more the previous exhibition.

I made a little video about it, see

Haha, nice waltzing matilda, although I couldn't understand it, but probably because I was too busy going "what's it in English anyway?" haha.

@ Nicolee, I presume you would have been there given your video, is it an exhibition or anything that kids might enjoy (kids being the fickle things they are)? I was thinking of dragging siblings and parents along okulumo.gif

I went to the exhibition on the way home to the train station from Adelaide University, quite a petite yet nice little exhibition, with many diorama-like info boxes, sometimes with Esperanto 'artefacts' (scarves, pins, old books and notebooks from early South Australian conferences). There's also info relevant to the greater theme of migration, things about prominent Esperantists in Australia who for the most part are retired or have passed away.

If you don't mind history, or simply want an excuse to look through the guess book (some kids had some attempts at using the language by the looks of things, they seemed to like "Adelajdo" as a word but I wonder how many pronounced it "Æd'læĝedoŭ"? rido.gif), it's a quick thing to look at, and pretty educational. Might come by it later. It's free too, there's a gold coin donation but that's optional (if you're not broke I guess that's no problem).

I left a thing in the guest book in Esperanto, but I reckon I misspelt "Ekspozicio" as "Ekspocio". Oh well!

(And Parallax, who designed it according to the flyer in my hands, did a good job! I did notice one font error, but I think I can now safely say green and white is sexy!)
