We are redeveloping the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Permanent Exhibition and would like to hear from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the themes, topics, stories, and objects to be displayed.

The Australian Museum welcomes all visitors but is committed to self-representation and self-determination in its First Nations exhibitions, programs and projects. This survey is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants only.

Thank you for participating.
