VISIT PORT MACQUARIE MUSEUM

Our award winning Museum tells the stories of those who have come before us and what makes our town special, from our beginnings as a British penal settlement through to the popular tourist and sea-change destination we are today. We have been sharing Port Macquarie's stories since 1957.

TIPS FOR YOUR VISIT:

Allow plenty of time for your visit as our museum is much larger than it looks. There are over 1,500 objects on display at any time.
Comprising several rooms and galleries, most visitors are pleasantly surprised once they step inside. We recommend you allow up to an hour for your visit.
Exhibits are regularly updated so that we can share more of our over 20,000 collection items with you. If you have visited before, you might like to visit again!
