For 200 years, the Australian Museum (AM) has been making memories. First visits and return visits. School excursions and Sunday afternoons. The fossil that stopped you in your tracks. The exhibit you still think about. The job that shaped your life.
As the AM mark's it's 200th year milestone, we want to hear from the people who know this place best: you!
Share your favourite memory of the AM, a moment, a story, a photo, and we'll publish it in our online gallery as part of our 200th anniversary gallery of Museum Memories.
Because the AM's story isn't just ours. It belongs to everyone who has ever walked through its doors.
Yes!
You may submit as many memories of the Australian Museum as you’d like.
Please submit a new form for each story.
