National Wool Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Geelong, Australia.
The National Wool Museum occupies a bluestone wool store from 1872, featuring exhibits about textile production and manufacturing processes throughout Australia's history.
The museum opened in 1988 during Australia's Bicentennial Celebrations, transforming the former Dennys Lascelles Woolstore into an educational institution.
The museum preserves the heritage of Australia's wool industry through interactive displays, demonstrations, and a collection of historical textile machinery.
Visitors can explore three main galleries, participate in wool crafting workshops, and purchase locally made textiles from Monday through Sunday between 10:00 and 15:00.
The facility houses a functioning 1910 Axminster Jacquard Carpet Loom that continues to produce Manor House Rugs using traditional weaving techniques.
