Australian Historical Art Fund & Heritage Government Residences
The Australiana Fund was established in 1978 to raise funds to acquire and preserve a
permanent collection of art works that are Australian by origin or by association.
These Australian artistic and historical works are acquired to furnish the residences
occupied by the Governor-General and the Prime Minister. Their official residences are
Government House and The Lodge in Canberra and Admiralty House and Kirribilli House in
Sydney.
