BAMM is responsible for the care of the Moree Plains Shire Council and Moree Cultural Art Foundation art collections.
As an Aboriginal Keeping Place we preserve and promote Aboriginal culture through permanent and temporary exhibitions and education programs. BAMM holds
one of the most significant collections of Aboriginal contemporary painting in regional New South Wales. This collection is developed through purchases
and generous donations. The building's main hallway is home to a permanent display of historical Aboriginal artefacts, including boomerangs, spears,
woomeras, coolamons, bark paintings and carved emu eggs. These objects were the basis of a large donation to Moree Plains Shire Council by Robert Bleakley
in the early 1980s and are held in safe keeping for their traditional owners.
