Treasures Gallery Appeal
The generosity and support of many individuals and organisations has made possible a new permanent exhibition space within the Library. The Treasures Gallery, which opened in October 2011, showcases selections from the Library’s significant, rare and often surprising collections. Early maps and atlases, books, manuscripts, paintings, drawings, photographs and objects all feature in the Treasures Gallery—from James Cook’s Endeavour journal to William Bligh’s list of mutineers, from Patrick White’s glasses to an original manuscript for Waltzing Matilda. Since opening, the Treasures Gallery has quickly become an important part of Australia’s cultural life.
Treasures Gallery Partners are acknowledged at the following gift levels:
- Principal Treasures Gallery Partner—$1 million and above
- Platinum Treasures Gallery Partner—$250,000 and above
- Gold Treasures Gallery Partner—$100,000 and above
- Silver Treasures Gallery Partner—$50,000 and above
- Bronze Treasures Gallery Partner—$25,000 and above
- Opal Treasures Gallery Partner—$10,000 and above
- Jade Treasures Gallery Partner—$5,000 and above
- Amber Treasures Gallery Partner—up to $5,000
The individuals and organisations listed below have collectively contributed more than $3 million to the Treasures Gallery Appeal since it commenced in 2001. Many other individual supporters also contributed generously through the Exhibitions Donation Box. The Library gratefully acknowledges and appreciates their generosity and vision. With the opening of the Treasures Gallery in 2011, this appeal is now closed.
