The Halloran Collection is a significant collection of naval, maritime and surveying objects, instruments and paintings.
The collection records the large-scale scientific changes and developments in mapping and exploration of both sea and land during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with particular reference to the east coast of NSW.
Members of the Halloran family, recently at the Huskisson complex, admired the quality of the lighting over their grandfather’s collection of surveying instruments located within the Museum of Jervis Bay Science and the Sea.
The Halloran Collection is recognised internationally and today, almost 30 years after the first museum building was opened, it stands as testimony to the vision and philanthropy of two remarkable identities, Henry Halloran and his son Warren.
This vision, taken up and supported by the efforts of many local Huskisson volunteers over many years, was instrumental in the development of the museum complex as it is today.
The South Coast Register will feature more details on complex’s 30th-anniversary celebrations as they progress.
