Maritime Museums Australia
WELCOME!
The Australian Maritime Museums Council is a network of museums, associations and people that work to preserve maritime collections. It provides a forum to discuss ideas, debate issues and exchange information. It also provides an avenue to build contacts and share the mutual support of others working with heritage vessels and maritime collections.
Members of the AMMC include large and small maritime museums, general museums with significant maritime collections and organisations and individuals dedicated to the preservation of maritime heritage such as historic vessels, lighthouses or buildings.
