Burke Museum

Excursion / Last updated 5 years, 3 months ago

The Burke Museum is considered the best regional museum in Australia. It has collections of taxidermy, rocks and minerals and the R.E. Johns Aboriginal Collection is the most significant of its type in Australia.

We have an extensive Ned Kelly collection including a very rare death mask. The museum explores topics like the Gold Rush, the role of the Chinese on the goldfields, bushrangers, education, shopping, medicine, the wars and sport.

A night time show called 'A Night in the Burke Museum' can be booked for groups and our education staff can offer day programs focussing on science, the collection and bush rangers.
