Support for Regional Museums
Support is available to assist regional museums, keeping places and community groups by providing advice on the best methods of preserving and interpreting the Northern Territory's diverse cultural heritage. The Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory also administers the Regional Museums Grant Support Program.

- Does your community organisation need help in preparing interpretive displays?
- Do you need specialist museum advice on conservation, heritage or local history?
