Experience one of regional Victoria's undiscovered treasures - the Burke Museum.

In 1863 the Museum was added to the Beechworth Athenaeum and Public Library building in honour of Robert O'Hara Burke the explorer. Burke had served as superintendent of Police at Beechworth from 1854 to 1858.

Discover the early collections of the Museum, including Aboriginal artefacts from south-eastern Australia purchased in 1868 and an unusal natural history collection of the 1860's.
