Reception this way:  Motels - A sentimental journey with Tim Ross

Travel around Australia revisiting your memories of the classic Aussie motel, from family holidays and long road trips to continental breakfasts and mid-century mod cons.

In a land where the car has provided us with the ultimate freedom to hit the road and explore, it is no 
surprise that Australians wholeheartedly embraced the American concept of the motel. When motels 
began springing up in the 1950s, they represented a new, stylish and sophisticated way to travel.

Embark on a sentimental journey, rediscovering the quintessential Australian experience of staying in 
a motel in our new exhibition, Reception this way: motels – a sentimental journey with Tim Ross.
