The Greatest Wonder of the World and American Tobacco Warehouse and Fancy Goods Emporium
The Greatest Wonder of the World and American Tobacco Warehouse and Fancy Goods Emporium, Historic tobacco warehouse and emporium in Gulgong, New South Wales, Australia.
Two connected heritage buildings at 123-125 Mayne Street house galleries displaying photographs and artifacts from the Australian gold rush period.
The buildings, constructed between 1870 and 1878, emerged during the Gulgong gold rush when the local population grew from 3,000 to 20,000 within two years.
The Gulgong Holtermann Museum exhibits the UNESCO-listed collection of photographs documenting daily life in Australian gold mining communities of the 1870s.
The museum, which opened in 2019 after extensive restoration, features three modern pavilions that complement the original nineteenth-century commercial structures.
Bernhard Holtermann, who discovered one of Australia's largest gold specimens, funded the photographic documentation now preserved in these former commercial buildings.
