Organised by Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA), and sponsored by Panasonic, the Museums and Galleries National Awards (MAGNA) celebrate outstanding achievement in the sector in the areas of exhibitions, public programs, Indigenous projects, and research. The 2019 MAGNAs were announced at an awards ceremony held in Alice Springs tonight as part of the AMaGA National Conference.

National Director Alex Marsden spoke to ArtsHub about "a recent Parliamentary Inquiry into Canberra’s national institutions made 20 recommendations. What were they, and were they warranted?"

A new 10-year plan launched today by the Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA) aims to transform the relationship between the sector and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the country.
