History
History
Established in 2001, Brisbane Living Heritage (BLH) was formed out of a Brisbane City Council initiative. The initial spark of an idea was to connect Brisbane’s small museums and heritage places within a larger network to help them with promotion and raise awareness of their valuable work. It was decided that this network or alliance would be based on approved membership to Brisbane Living Heritage.
Today there are more than 90 member organisations in BLH comprising museums, galleries, heritage sites, historic houses and gardens and historical societies.
BLH is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
Our Team
There are currently six Directors on the Board of Brisbane Living Heritage, four of which hold Executive positions.
Directors are volunteers and must be representatives of Institutional Members.
