Snowy Scheme Museum, Engineering heritage museum in Adaminaby, Australia.
The Snowy Scheme Museum exhibits machinery, photographs, and equipment used in the construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric infrastructure between 1949 and 1974.
The museum collection documents the development of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which incorporated 16 dams, 7 power stations, and 145 kilometers of tunnels across New South Wales.
The exhibits present personal stories and artifacts from workers of different nationalities who contributed to this major engineering project in post-war Australia.
Located on the Snowy Mountains Highway, the museum offers guided tours, educational programs, and displays original construction equipment from the hydroelectric project.
Visitors can examine the authentic control panel from the original scheme operations and a tunnel train that transported materials through the mountain passages.
