Government – Australian Museum
Project Discover
This year, the Australian Museum’s place at the cultural and scientific heart of the city will be greatly enhanced as Project Discover kicks off. With a budget of $57.5 million, Project Discover will facilitate the first stage of the Museum’s transformation.
Project Discover will enable the Australian Museum to repurpose existing storage space to significantly expand the touring exhibition halls to 1500 square metres across two levels – allowing the AM to host either one major exhibition or two exhibitions simultaneously.
As well as the transformed exhibition spaces, the redevelopment will also create new education facilities, a new museum shop, a second café, expanded Members’ Lounge, cloaking and new amenities.
