We wish everyone a happy new year! And what a way to start it with the announcement that the Federal Government have awarded $2.66m in grant funding toward our plans for a redevelopment !

The expansion of our museum into a cultural hub will provide bigger gallery spaces, a workshop area, studio, research centre and larger collection storage facility that will allow us to stage more dynamic program of exhibitions and activities of greater scale, attract nationally touring exhibitions and provide opportunities for our community, artists, researchers and creatives to learn, share and engage with history, art and culture.
