The museum focused on the Eureka Stockade as the place of origin of Australia's democracy.[5][6] The museum housed the original Eureka Flag, upon which the rebels swore an oath to the flag as a symbol of defiance against the ruling colonial government.[7] The flag was on loan from the Art Gallery of Ballarat.[8][9]
