About

Opened on 4th August 2011, Newcastle Museum is a welcoming place of social and cultural interaction, accessible collections and innovative educational programs.

Story

The Newcastle Museum is committed to being a place for people, a place that shows ideas, tells stories, is a place of interaction. It reflects the past and celebrates innovation. It is fun, accessible, light and full of story. The museum tells a story of Newcastle and the Hunter, and through the collection presents a narrative of how we’ve lived and live today. The Supernova and Mininova exhibitions create an interactive scientific and technological learning playground, loaded with excitement and surprise. The travelling exhibitions present a wider narrative - of ideas, stories and futures.

Reviews

A somewhat small museum but informative. Great displays and gets you the local information on the town. How it was formed and changed through the years.

Something not to be missed is the small show on the steel works. Its very enjoyable and only like 10 minutes long. But its a more appealing way to hear of the steelworks in a way not easily forgotten and easy to understand. Kids will love it or may get scared as it involves smoke machines etc but good for all ages really.

Small but a nice museum in Newcastle, one of the best I've seen by far in a while. Parking is close by near the harbour to which you can also checkout the other local attractions whilst visiting this lovely museum. It can be a nice place to take your older kids, I wouldn't recommend taking young ones .

Museum itself is what you would expect for a free local museum, ok but nothing special.  However, they have a really good kids area, a preschool play are and a science exploration area for older kids. They also seen to have regular "special" exhibits which you pay for. There is also a story time for young children every Tuesday. We go very regularly!

Love this museum. Often has great exhibitions. Always has a fun learning area for the kids as well as indoor play area for young kids. The other part of the museum is local history. Its free except for special exhibits.

Newcastle Museum hasn't changed much. I guess it doesn't need to because it's a pretty good place. It's a great hot day or wet weather day place to go and get out of the weather. The kids like the playground and the sciencey stuff out the back. The trams a hit and they change the main display every so often. The price is right being free and it's in a good location to go for a walk along the harbour after.
