Eumundi Museum displays both permanent exhibitions about our local history and
regularly changing temporary exhibitions about all sorts of subjects.
Our temporary exhibitions change every four months or so and have recently
included Ancient Mexico, anaesthetics machines, bones, bugs, the Vietnam War,
and the history of maps.
Our local history displays include indigenous history, the early settlers, the timber
industry, farming, health and hospitals, transport, military history, natural history,
and the markets.
We have an extensive local photographic collection of over more than 3000
physical photos. And our museum staff continue to research and report the local
history.
Our museum brings Eumundi to the world and the world to Eumundi.
FREE ENTRY.
We are open 10.00 am – 3.00 pm, Tuesday – Saturday.
Eumundi Museum is owned and operated by the Eumundi & District HistoricalAssociation, a not-for-profit organisation that gives everything back to the community.
We are fortunate to be located on the Sunshine Coast, which provides us with
access to the Sunshine Coast Council's heritage grants, and we have frequently been the recipient of these grants to help us with specific projects.
Eumundi Museum is located on the main street of Eumundi at 73 Memorial Drive, on the corner of Gridley Street.
This is very close to the middle of town and very easy to find – we are in the old church, next to the little park, opposite the Post Office.
73 Memorial Drive Eumundi QLD 4562
Most days there is plenty of free parking nearby on Memorial Drive and in Gridley Street.
On market days, however, the town gets thousands of extra visitors and parks are difficult to find. Although they can be found if you are patient. Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays.
On market days, we recommend that you park at the Experience Eumundi Car Park on Napier Road, which costs $9 for an unlimited time. Wander through the markets and cross Memorial Drive to enter the museum.
If you are using the bus services of Route 630, heading north, the Eumundi Market Stop is right out the front of the museum.
Heading south, the Eumundi Market Stop is just across the road, shaded by the beautiful memorial trees.
The museum relies heavily on our wonderful team volunteers. Our volunteers help to meet and greet our visitors and are happy to discuss our exhibitions and Eumundi’s history with you.
Volunteers also assist with administration, security and cleaning to ensure that all of our visitors enjoy their museum experience.
In return we develop our volunteers’ skills, experience and knowledge of the Sunshine Coast’s heritage.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, we would love to hear from you.
