The foundation raises funds to support the acquisition of objects for the National Maritime Collection, to maintain the fleet of vessels and to enhance programs and activities. The stories of some of the objects acquired with support from the Foundation can be found here.
History of the foundation
The Australian National Maritime Museum Foundation was established in 2002, following a generous donation of plans, photographs and tools from the famed Halvorsen boatbuilding family.
Australia's National Monument to Migration
You can honour a migrant – a loved one, a member of your family, yourself, or a new arrival – on Australia’s National Monument to Migration at the Australian National Maritime Museum.
A donation is a fitting way to honour loved ones who have migrated to Australia and to ensure their personal stories are held in this important national collection.
