South Australian Museum

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Arts. Can the minister advise whether the South Australian Museum will remain accessible and open to the public through the infrastructure changes to the galleries that she has just described? If not, for how long will it be closed?

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:43): There is, as I said, a public engagement process yet to be undertaken on some of those details, but, yes, it will be open. As for any institution that might undertake work, there might be periods of closure, but there are absolutely no plans at the moment for any of that. We still have public consultation to come. What we do have, as I said, are some incredible stories to tell, and I think we should tell them proudly, in the best possible way.
