By supporting Sydney Living Museums Foundation, you are helping to us to preserve a unique portfolio of 12 historic houses and museums. Support from members of the public, companies and other charitable organisations, helps us to refurbish and conserve our heritage properties, acquire objects to extend collections, and support our research and education programs. Your generosity ensures that we preserve and protect our Australian history and heritage, in exciting contemporary ways, for today and for future generations.

Across our 12 properties, we attract up to 2 million visitors each year, including participants in over 400 events and education programs, corporate venue clients and their guests, and online visitors.

Volunteer
Our volunteers are the heart, soul and backbone of Sydney Living Museums – without their support, energy and enthusiasm, we could not do the work we do.
Internships
We offer a range of project-based internships that allow students to gain direct experience working in areas such as exhibition development, heritage interpretation, collection cataloguing, research, marketing and event coordination. SLM internships are unpaid and are available to students undertaking relevant courses at Australian universities.

The Sydney Living Museums work experience program for Year 10, 11 and 12 students is designed to provide students with an understanding of what it is like to work in a museum environment and as part of a team.
