%X This paper examines the movement to foster scientific and technical learning in the colony of Victoria during the 1860s. It discusses how the concept of a public museum for &#39;industrial&#39; and &#39;technological&#39; instruction emerged, and analyses the events leading to the establishment of the Industrial and Technological Museum, Victoria&#39;s first public institution for educating the people in applied science.
