About BAMM
Bank Art Museum Moree (BAMM) is deeply connected to the local community. Born from a grassroots initiative, BAMM was established to celebrate art and preserve the rich history and culture of the Kamilaroi people. From the outset, BAMM has been guided by a commitment to reconciliation, believing that cultural engagement has the power to unite people from all walks of life. Our programs reflect the vibrant spirit and diversity of the North West Slopes and Plains, making BAMM a hub for learning and cultural exchange.
The building itself has a fascinating story. Originally constructed in 1883 as the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney, it was destroyed by fire in 1908. Rebuilt in 1910, the Federation Freestyle design by renowned architect P.E. Ranclaud served as both a bank and the manager’s residence.
In 1985, local residents and the Moree Plains Shire Council came together to transform the vacant building into a gallery. With funding from the NSW Bicentennial Authority, the building was purchased, and the Moree Cultural Art Foundation (MCAF) was established in 1988. That same year, the Moree Plains Gallery opened its doors with Premier Nick Greiner in attendance.
Today, BAMM continues to thrive with support from the council, state government, and the community. In 2018, BAMM marked its 30th anniversary by embracing a new name—Bank Art Museum Moree—a tribute to its heritage and its contemporary vision for the future.
