Dr Arratta Memorial Museum

An historic hospital display and general museum is situated in the original Muttaburra and District Hospital. It is a memorial to Dr Arratta who spent 35 years in the community and was awarded the MBE for his service.

This large hospital complex served Muttaburra and surrounding districts until the1980's. Now it houses a Medical Museum, which has been named in honour of Dr Joseph Arratta who 'served' the west through the Muttaburra Hospital from 1925 until 1960.

Today these buildings house both medical and hospital displays. The hospital is as it would have been when Dr Arratta left in 1960. Casualty, the operating theatre with sterilizer and plenum ventilation and both maternity and infectious disease rooms are still open. The male ward is fully furnished with made-up beds, meal trays, flowers and bedside radios.
