The National Portrait Gallery Vision Statement
The National Portrait Gallery will increase the understanding of the Australian people – their identity, history, creativity and culture – through portraiture.
The Gallery will:
- develop a representative collection of portraits of subjects who have made a major impact upon Australia;
- enhance the cultural value of portraiture through access, display, exhibition, research and interpretation;
- make a wide range of portraits accessible to the public through strongly focussed and innovative exhibitions, displays and via the internet;
- foster enquiry, research, discussion and interpretation of portraiture and undertake programs that reflect the culture, history and diversity of Australia.
