National Wool Museum

The National Wool Museum is Australia's only comprehensive museum of wool, showcasing wool's enduring impact on Australia's social and economic life. The museum acquires, preserves and exhibits objects and materials which reflect significant developments in the Australian wool industry.

Appropriately located in a century old (1872) refurbished bluestone wool store, the museum uses unique objects and innovative displays to tell the story of the Australian wool industry from early settlement to the present day.
