Mission and History

Our Museum History.

  1. The Great Beginning

    The MooM Art Collections is founded by a group of artists and patrons prompted by the government's inadequate museum funding. By its first meeting it has 308 members and $700 in funds.

  2. Our Office Gallery Opened.

    An additional new entrance to the gallery was created at the rear of the building, leading down from the new first floor gallery into a newly-opened up section of the Museum Gardens, which has been developed into a public space.

  3. Fundraising and investment

    The project has brought an investment of £8 million into the MooM. We are very grateful to all our funders who have made this project possible and start new period of art vision.
