The museum complex stands on Armour Hill, featuring exhibition spaces and archival facilities that house over 33,000 regional artifacts and documents.
Founded in 1897, the institution moved to its current location in 1967, occupying a purpose-built structure designed by architectural firm Craig, Zeidler and Strong.
The collection includes numerous indigenous artifacts, early settler items, and an extensive photographic archive containing 300,000 film and glass plate negatives dating from 1896.
