National Wool Museum

The National Wool Museum experience is more than just wool. It is a cultural hub in Victoria’s second largest city. A vibrant gathering place between the historic waterfront and central Geelong. The Museum is a place to collect, share and create stories of our community and region. Here history, science, fashion, handcraft and art come together. Temporary exhibitions and programs combine lifelong learning, hands-on exploration and entertainment for people of all ages.

No other Australian city can boast Geelong’s diversity and concentration of wool related industries and activities. It is likely that the first European settlers to land at Geelong’s Point Henry were sheep, put overboard to swim ashore in 1832 from the barque Henry after its voyage from Tasmania. Step into history to take the journey of the product which has had an enduring and perhaps the single biggest impact on Australian social, economic and political life.
