From our stunning location at Darling Harbour, we welcome almost 1 million visitors annually to our world-class facilities, and almost a million more visitors nationally to our travelling exhibitions.
The museum is a leader in the preservation, promotion and sharing of Australia's maritime heritage. As Australia’s only museum dedicated to the preservation of our maritime story, both modern and historical, we have a great responsibility. We play a critical role in the community to influence and form a better tomorrow.
Our corporate partners are part of this mission. They help us share our stories, reach new audiences, educate visitors and excite and delight our community.
There are a number of excellent partnership opportunities available. Your brand can be linked to our dynamic cultural spaces, education programs, exhibitions, festivals, national travelling exhibitions, unique vessels and events. Whatever your partnership goal is, the museum can help you achieve it.
As well as promoting your brand, there are also unique opportunities for internal marketing and staff engagement.
We understand that every partnership is different, and would be happy to tailor a partnership opportunity to meet your needs.
