The Story of Wool and more! Through interactive displays, working exhibits and knowledgeable guides, the National Wool Museum in Geelong brings this story to life. Diverse topics to explore include agriculture, textiles, rural life, manufacturing, science and technology, the arts, crafts, literature and more.
We provide teachers with resources such as curriculum based Education Kits (with pre- and post-visit suggestions), guided tours and specialised activities. We also want students (and teachers) to have a good time, lots of fun and enhanced learning experiences. We have an onsite cafe, bus parking and a beach and park nearby.
The temporary exhibitions program also enables schools to visit the Museum regularly to explore a wide variety of cultural themes and experiences. With up to eight changing exhibitions each year, there's always something new to experience – visit our website to find out about our latest exhibitions. We offer activities and programs for students at all levels, from early childhood through to adult and specialised education.
