2007 Public Opening
The Central and Western District Council organized six Open Days in January 2007 under the title of "Journey to the History of Victoria Prison"
Guided tours were led by docents to historical buildings in the heritage compound. There was a "Prison Art Museum" where local artists were given access to several cells that they could decorate or use as a display gallery.
The Open Days were scheduled on 6,7,13,14,20 and 21 January 2007 from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or opening:
“The public ... is rather apt to be unreasonably discontented when a woman does marry again, than when she does not.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by thy flood,
And lost in following years.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
