From Kylie Minogue’s iconic costumes to archives from The Australian Ballet, your donations can help build and preserve a priceless performing arts collection. With support from people like you, we’ve been able restore, digitise and share over 850,000 items of our cultural history.
Preserving and sharing our cultural heritage
Give today and you’ll help grow the collection and keep it safe for future generations. And because the collection belongs to all Australians, your gift will also help us share it with everyone through free exhibitions - on site, on tour and on line.
