Burke Museum
It’s hard to visit Beechworth and not daydream of how life was in the Gold Rush era. So why not take it a step further? Walk through a recreation of the nineteenth century “Street of Shops”, examine a giant world globe so old it still shows the Russian Empire, and witness a genuine thylacine!
The Museum is open seven days a week – see what’s on display right now.
The Museum includes more than thirty thousand items, illuminating the heritage of Beechworth and the region alongside natural history and community stories.
Delve deeper into the history of Beechworth and the people who shaped it.
The Friends of the Burke Museum is a volunteer organisation which support the Burke Museum with community advocacy, fundraising, and assistance with many projects.
