The AIM Project, a collaboration between Australia and Indonesia of a series of museum curatorial workshops in Indonesia, aims to develop a collaborative approach in the interpretation of museum objects in Australia and Indonesia by combining methods of significance and interpretation of exhibition objects. At the end of the workshops, curators will work together to create an exhibition using objects from selected museums in Indonesia and Australia, published through the Western Australian Museum (WAM) website.

 

The AIM Project will be led by Deakin University's Cultural Heritage Asia-Pacific Group in collaboration with the Museum Nasional Indonesia, the Western Australian Museum (WAM), the Southeast Asia Museum Services (SEAMS), and a number of partner museums in Indonesia.

​

The AIM Project is made possible through grant funding from the Australia-Indonesia Institute of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia.
