HISTORY

Founded in 2012 in Western Australia, the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance is a virtual social change museum.

It was founded with the objective of fostering and promoting a cohesive and plural society in Western Australia and surrounding regions, where all people enjoy the freedom to live peacefully alongside each other with mutual respect and tolerance, free from racial and religious prejudice and discrimination.

The Museum aims to create a more inclusive world and foster social cohesion, bringing together people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences to learn from and understand each other.
