These are extraordinary times and the impact of COVID-19 has been profound and far-reaching. However, the important work of Sydney Living Museums continues, and we need your support more than ever.
Sydney Living Museums is a world leader in the ways we embrace and interpret history, heritage, and the stories of our unique and historically important museums, houses and gardens. Our 12 significant properties offer visitors unforgettable experiences and remarkable journeys through time and place.
As we begin to reopen our museums and historic houses, Sydney Living Museums continues to cherish these properties by undertaking our core business of conserving, maintaining, researching and activating them.
To help us continue this important work, we invite you to support Sydney Living Museums through the Annual Appeal 2020.
All donations, whatever their size, make a real difference.
Sydney Living Museums serves all people of NSW by preserving, repairing and engaging with both our tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Our shared bond, our sense of community and identity are manifest in our history and our present.
