COLLECTIONS
At the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory we care for a collection of over 1.2 million natural history specimens and over 30,000 items of art and material culture.
Most of our natural history specimen information can be freely accessed online through the Atlas of Living Australia, where anyone can explore and analyse the data using a variety of digital tools.
