These are the first national standards for museums and galleries in Australia. Their focus on exhibitions and heritage materials makes them relevant to collecting organisations of all kinds.
The National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries have been produced collaboratively by the National Standards Taskforce, representing:
- ACT Museums and Galleries
- Arts Tasmania
- Collections Council of Australia Ltd
- History Trust of South Australia
- Museum and Gallery Services Queensland Ltd
- Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory
- Museums & Galleries NSW
- Museums Australia (Victoria)
- Western Australian Museum
The Ian Potter Foundation has kindly supported this project by providing funds for the development, copy-editing and design of the National Standards document.
