Gulgong Holtermann Museum is a community project and a museum space located in gold rush town of Gulgong, New South Wales. Two of the town's earliest buildings, also featured on Australian ten-dollar note (see The Greatest Wonder) renovated and extended, house an interactive educational and tourist facility based on the UNESCO listed Holtermann Collection - photographs taken for Bernhardt Holtermann during the "roaring days" in the 1870s. [1]
Public launch of the museum took place on 22 January 2015.[2] Designed by architect Jiri Lev, the museum space is formed by a series of three interconnected multi-functional pavilions built behind the restored heritage street-front buildings.[3] The first is used as an extension of the exhibition space and for temporary exhibits, the second an event space and the third a workshop space. The museum design employs passive solar heating and natural cooling and lighting.
The museum, also supported by NSW Regional Cultural Fund[4], was visited by New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian and minister Troy Grant on 2 July 2018.[5]
Gulgong Holtermann Museum officially opened on 26 October 2019.[6]
