10 The Museum’s Vision, Mission, Functions, Strategic Aims As part of the state portfolio of Culture and the Arts, the Western Australian Museum operates within the Outcome Statement: ‘A community that is informed of, and has access to, a diverse range of innovative ideas, knowledge and cultural experiences’. The Output Description for the Western Australian Museum is: ‘Delivery and promotion of museum services through collection development and management, research, education and visitor services’. VISION The Western Australian Museum will equip all Western Australians to better understand themselves, their environments (natural, social and built) and their place in the world. MISSION The Museum will, with the support of the Western Australian community, continue to develop informative, interesting and vital programs, to improve the generation and communication of our knowledge and to assist in building sustainable awareness and appreciation of our natural environment and cultural heritage. FUNCTIONS The major functions of the Museum are collections management, knowledge generation and knowledge communication. Collections Management The Museum recognises its vital role as a custodian of the state’s collections of scientific and cultural heritage. The management and proper use of these collections are fundamental to our operations. These are the ‘real objects’ that excite, inspire and educate our visitors. The Museum also recognises that it must play a leading role in acquiring objects for these collections that reflect the cultural and natural environments in which we live, thereby enhancing our understanding of it. Knowledge Generation The Museum is an organisation of scholarship and recognises that the knowledge it generates through research should be relevant to society and must be effectively communicated to have impact. Knowledge Communication The Museum recognises that it must communicate its knowledge in relevant, engaging and interactive ways and respond effectively to the needs and wants of its customers. This knowledge will increasingly reflect partnerships with government agencies, industry and the community. WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT 2001–2002
