	Australian Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian Museum is the oldest museum in Australia, with an international reputation in the fields of natural history and anthropology.
		The museum was founded on March 30, 1827, by Earl Bathurst, then the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who wrote to the Governor of New South Wales of his intent to found a public museum, and provisions to provide £200 yearly towards its upkeep.
		The Museum was administered directly by the colonial government until June 1836, until the establishment of a Committee of Superintendence of the Australian Museum and Botanical Garden.

		Mr Laurie Ogle, past president of the Australian Aviation Museum's Association, Mr Garry Pritchard, lawyer and consultant to the FAC, and Professor Peter Oppenheim from the School of Architecture at the University of New South Wales have all contributed according to their qualifications and experience.
		Three sub-committees were formed, one to establish a financial / legal footing for the museum, one to suggest ideas for museum displays and the third to arrange for promotional events - in particular the official launch of the project and the opening of the museum.
		The official launch of the Bankstown Aviation Museum took place on the 15th of February 1994 and was an outstanding success, attracting considerable public attention through extensive media coverage and wide contact with the aviation fraternity.

		Museums are to take appropriate steps to seek out the traditional custodians of secret/sacred material and to consult them on their wishes as to return or retention by the museum acting in a custodial role.
		Many museums have acquired items by means that they would regard as legal: they believe that they are entitled to retain those items but are concerned that claims may be made on them which will take time and energy to resolve which they do not wish to employ.
		Politics is not something that is outside the door of the museum but a part of everyday life, a way of balancing conflicting but legitimate demands as much as a way of marginalising and eventually suppressing identity.
