Reconstructing the past, projecting the future through objects

Places of cultural significance enrich people's lives, providing an inspirational sense of connection to community and landscape, to the past and to our lived experiences. They are historical records that are important as tangible expressions of our identity, as measurable evidence of our progress. Places of cultural significance reflect the diversity of our communities, telling us about who we are and about the past that has formed us. They are equally precious as they are irreplaceable.
