200 Treasures of the Australian Museum, the Westpac Long Gallery, Australian Museum

The Australian Museum is embarking on an ambitious journey to restore Australia’s first museum gallery, the iconic Long Gallery. The project is jointly funded by Westpac, the NSW Government and donors, and will see it re-open as the Westpac Long Gallery in 2017, celebrating the AM’s 190th and Westpac’s 200th anniversaries.

Featuring 200 Treasures of the Australian Museum, the Westpac Long Gallery will showcase invaluable treasures from our world-class collection, telling the stories of the region and the nation. The First Bank Note and the Maitland Bar Gold Nugget will be on display until 20 December 2015.
