Museums of History NSW
Heritage organization in Australia
Museums of History NSW is a statutory body of the government of New South Wales that is responsible for historic sites, state collections and archives in New South Wales, Australia. In 2023, the former State Archives and Records Authority was merged with Sydney Living Museums (formerly known as Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales) to form MHNSW. The sites include various houses, gardens, parklands and urban spaces. In 2011, its sites attracted over two million visitors each year.[1]
The chief executive of the former Sydney Living Museums, called Executive Director, was responsible to the Department of Planning and Environment cluster.[1][2] The Trust reported to the Minister for the Arts. Ultimately the minister is responsible to the Parliament of New South Wales.
