Burke Museum, Beechworth

Fantastic little museum. Only $5 for adults or $3 concession.Has a fascinating collection of local rocks and native fauna taxidermy. Some in better condition than others.Has a recreated historical Beechworth alley where you can view objects from a hundred years ago.A newer instalment has a more personal analysis of the town. A historic citizen and a modern citizen are placed next to each other and their story is told. Sometimes it works more than others.

Great place to stop with the family and learn some history of the region.The staff were great and answered any questions you may have.

Hands down, best Museum ever! The ladies are very knowledgable. Rikki, the Senior here went out of her way to look up historical information on hubby's family who migrated to Beechworth in 1860. Hubby was over the moon with this. A BIG thank you to Rikki. Apart from that, the Museum arranges the historical walk around town. And this Museum has a wealth of history including one of the best pioneer exhibits that we have ever seen. See photos. Oh and I was impressed to learn that Tom Thumb visited here. See the photo exhibit of his little boots below. And that is not all. We only paid half of the entry price because they had to corden off a bit of the museum for a presentation. We cannot believe that there is more to this amazing museum! Deserves 5+

A very nice collections of original tools used by the early settlers. It is also good to bring the kids for a visit to know more about the history.Access fee is reasonable to maintain the facility.

Small museum, a good collection of rocks and birds (taxi) and the old world street was cool

Nice museum to learn more about the history of the town and nature. $5 entry.

Nice regional museum which is good for a wet day. Costs $5 to enter and will take most people between 30-60 minutes to walk around. Do note that there is a lot more here that just stuff on Burke so don't let that put you off. There was also an interesting exhibit on the Chinese in the area which was illuminating

Small but full of interesting local history. The latest exhibition is on the people of Beechworth. A good mix of new & old. Of course my favourite section is the history, hence not many photos here on the people.When learning about Burke & Wills in primary school in the early 80s, I did not know he was a Beechworth police superintendent.My favourite section of the museum is the ‘street’ of shops with artifacts that transport you back in time.Can’t believe how many stuffed animals people had.A whole wall of birds!$5 entry fee. There a free postcards you can take just near where you pay. We probably spent about half an hour in there. It could take you longer if you read every single display.

This country town museum is by far the best museum we have ever had the pleasure to enter - the team behind this place should be very proud of themself. We highly recommend to spend some time here and read their history.
