Kevin has worked in state and national museums for over twenty years and is a past president of the Australian Maritime Museums Council. Kevin believes the great strength of the SA Maritime Museum is the ambience of its heritage buildings and its location in the state’s first heritage precinct. ‘Our stories have greater meaning because we explore history in the places where it happened.’
