The Northern Territory has a diverse and disparate community, comprising some 158 400 permanent residents, just under 1% of the Australian population.This community is spread over an area which is approximately one-sixth of the total continental land mass.Despite the modest size of the population and its scatterd distribution, the Northern Territory has a thriving museum infrastructure of some 31 museums which includes the publicly funded Museums and Art Galleries Board of the Northern Territory.The direction of the Territory's museum indus¬ try is guided by the Board, which was established as a Statutory Authority and is accountable to the Minister responsible for Museums.Tliis paper discusses histor¬ ical museum material culture in the Northern Territory, its organisation and future directions
