Discover and Do

Where our stories come aliveThe National Museum of Australia brings to life the rich and diverse stories of Australia through compelling objects, ideas and events. Our exhibitions, collections, programs and research focus on three interrelated themes; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, Australia’s history and society since 1788, and  the interaction of people with the environment.  These define our conceptual framework through the themes of; land, nation, and people.
