A the recent Museums Australia Victoria annual Victorian Museums Awards Burrinja received the Small Museums Award for the exhibition Black Mist Burnt Country. The judges labelled the exhibition “outstanding” and commented that the exhibition was

“an astonishing exhibition that manages to be both an art and history exhibition, merging the two almost seamlessly, and using a variety of different mediums to tackle a piece of history that is complicated, confronting and challenging. The number and range of partners who have come on board to present and travel the show is indicative of its inspiring vision and the quality of the end product.”
