About Sydney Living Museums
Sydney Living Museums cares for 12 of the most important historic houses, gardens and museums in NSW. Our purpose is to enrich and revitalise people’s lives with Sydney’s living history, and to hand the precious places and collections in our care on to future generations to enjoy. We were established in 1980 as the Historic Houses Trust of NSW to manage, maintain and interpret buildings and places of historic importance for the education and enjoyment of the public.
Preserving our heritage
As a member you play an important role in supporting the work of Sydney Living Museums in preserving 12 of the state’s most significant heritage properties. This includes the physical restoration and preservation of the sites, the maintenance and acquisition of our collections, and the public programs and activities that make the sites accessible.
We have visited so many amazing places as part of our membership and of course Sydney Open is simply fantastic! This membership is the best value for us and we enjoy so much feeling a part of preserving Sydney's rich history.
