The National Museum of Australia was formally established by the National Museum of Australia Act 1980. It did not have a permanent home until March 2001, when it was officially opened in the national capital Canberra. The National Museum preserves and interprets Australia's social history, exploring the key issues, people and events that have shaped the nation.
