Underpinning this have been popular exhibitions and programs forall ages, supported by high standards of visitor service and outreach to theAustralian and international communities.In further developing a world-class museum, the areas of stewardship — incorporatingcollection management and storage as well as research and scholarship — are beingsubstantially developed under this strategic plan.At the same time the Museum will continue to strive for excellence in tellingAustralian stories that enlighten, stimulate and inspire audiences, and retain a roleas a forum for ideas.The Museum has rapidly outgrown its limited exhibition spaces and continues toexplore ways to secure a future for exhibiting more of the National Historical Collection.To realise this vision, the Strategic Plan 2007– 2010 identifies five strategic priorities.A set of annual business priorities directs the formation of more detailed divisional andstaff work plans.I acknowledge and thank Council, senior management, staff and other stakeholdersfor their contributions to this plan.Craddock MortonDirectorVisionA recognised world-class museum exploring Australia’s past, illuminatingthe present, imagining the future.MissionTo promote an understanding of Australia’s history and an awarenessof future possibilities by:• developing, preserving and exhibiting a significant collection• taking a leadership role in research and scholarship• engaging and providing access for audiences nationally and internationally• delivering innovative programs.Values, behaviours and objectivesThe National Museum of Australia operates with the highest ethical standards.It embraces truth and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake and recognisesthe importance of aesthetic considerations.
