Australian Federation of Friends of Museums

The  Australian Federation of Friends of Museums (AFFM), is a national, not for profit organisation connecting museum, gallery and library supporters throughout Australia.

AFFM is here to provide support and communication channels between members groups, friends and volunteers within arts and cultural  organisations.

We are unique in that our focus is on supporting the groups that are the backbone of our favourite museums, galleries and libraries.
