Values

Social Responsibility: we strive to operate the organisation with integrity, caring not just for the building and collection ethically, but ensure we facilitate meaningful emotional connections that have a positive impact on our society, environment and community. Equity: we recognise that everyone’s lived experience should be valued, both past voices and present, empowering individuals and communities through our positive and pro-active actions. Courage: our ambition is to take bold, innovative and imaginative approaches to our work, enabling open and honest conversations about the collection and connected people.
