Museums and Galleries NSW Workshop

Overview

ICS partnered with The Australian Museum and Museums & Galleries of NSW to present a series of Net Zero workshops in 2023 and 2024.

These free workshops for regional museums and galleries aim to facilitate and support smaller cultural institutions in NSW to develop a Net Zero strategy. The goal is to help them identify priority projects that will safeguard their collections and contribute to faster emissions reductions.
