Newcastle Museum

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
We had a lovely outing to the museum especially my 5 year old son. He really enjoyed the interactive science exhibition. The museum itself is not very big and entry was free. The staff are very friendly.
Really enjoyed visiting Newcastle Museum. Came around 11am and it was still quiet, started getting busier around 12pm.nnThe place and toilets were very clean, and the staff were super friendly. There aren’t a lot of exhibits, but I really liked the hallway with all the historical stories on the walls. The museum feels very local and connected to everyday life, which made it interesting to read.nnThe place isn’t very big, so around 1 hour is enough to walk around, or about 2 and a half hours if you like reading all the stories and information. Nice atmosphere overall :
I went there on a Friday with the my photography group. I had never been there before.nnThe museum is huge and much larger than I expected. Of course it is Newcastle oriented in its objects displayed and the people featured. But it is all interesting. Very.nnNewcastle is a BHP town and there is a short display of steel production. It’s very well done and narrated by a lovely person. Erin.nnMost of the museum is free to wander around. There is one part of it which cost $10/$8 which has special stuff especially for the young and young at heart.nnAnd the staff are always there to help and are absolutely lovely.nnWe were all from Sydney and caught the intercity train and the light rail to get there. Very pleasant journey. They have USB and normal 3 pin power points on the trainnnA visit is recommended.
Pleasantly surprised by the visit to this museum. Really liked getting to know Newcastle history, coal mining details and the coal show. The science section is truly amazing and great to engage kids, hours of fun experiments and experience to everyone… definitely going to visit again. Would have been good if there was a cafe with in museum but not to worry only because the Newcastle harbour with lot of good food options is within arm’s reach..
A lovely little museum showcasing interesting facts and objects from Newcastle's history. It's got 3 main sections displaying Newcastle's past of production, development, and resurgences, as well as a section displaying some science facts through interactive tables.nnGeneral entry is free, and only 1 section requires a ticket $10 starting per person, though there does seem to be discounts for concessions and families.nnIt's fantastic place to visit, in a great location in the city and very close to the beach, and whether you're visiting as an adult or as a family, there will always be something fun to see.
