Historical information

This decorative tassel was made by Kallista woman, Beryl Collett (1925-2018) and forms part of a large and varied body of work by Beryl which is held by the Museum.

Significance

The Dandenongs have been the chosen home of many creative people who, like Beryl, have found inspiration in the natural beauty of the area. Much of this work was created by Beryl following her retirement from her accountancy job in 1980 and so epitomises the potential of the retirement phase of people's lives.
