We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging who have maintained Country for millennia.

The Crystal Hall is a strategic new entry to the historically and culturally significant Australian Museum – accessible to all, re-engaging William Street, increasing exhibition space and significantly improving internal circulation. The crystalline pleated screen balances the need for transparency (showcase) with environmental management – recasting the museum as an open public living room.
