Australian Museum
The Australian Museum's mission is to make nature, indigenous cultures and science accessible and relevant. We do this by using the vast collections housed onsite to research, interpret and communicate our understanding of the environments and cultures of the Australian region to increase their long-term sustainability. The collections provide a reference to the fauna, geology and cultural heritage of Australia and the region.
It is estimated that, in total, the Australian Museum collections contain in excess of 21 million objects including cultural material and specimens of animals, fossils and minerals, which represent a readily accessible portion of our world.
