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 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 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 our work in preserving the significant heritage properties in our care. To learn how you can further support our heritage conservation work, please visit Sydney Living Museums Foundation.
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.
