Newcastle Museum, Regional history museum in Newcastle, Australia

Newcastle Museum is a regional history museum housed in multiple exhibition halls featuring regional artifacts, scientific displays, and industrial heritage collections. The building showcases fossils, crafted objects, and documents spanning different eras of the city's past.

Founded in 1988, the museum documents the transformation of the region from Aboriginal lands through industrial development to the modern urban center. Its collections tell the story of mining, shipbuilding, and other industries that shaped Newcastle's growth.

The museum displays traditions of local Indigenous peoples and celebrates the industrial workers whose labor shaped the city's character. These exhibitions help visitors understand the cultures that formed Newcastle's identity over many generations.

The museum faces Civic light rail station and NUspace, with the Civic Hub opposite. The Honeysuckle Point Railway Workshops site is 1.7 km from the old Castlemaine Brewery building on Hunter Street. The BHP Experience steel-making show runs hourly.

The museum occupies the former Great Northern Railway headquarters, including the heritage-listed Honeysuckle Point Railway Workshops, to which it moved in 2011 from the old Castlemaine Brewery on Hunter Street. The Link Gallery holds large artefacts such as an 1870 J&A Brown Locomotive No 4 and a 1980 pipe organ.
