Gold Treasury Museum

This museum is a part of Australia's glorious past. It is one of the most magnificent buildings in Australia. Serving as a treasury, it was thrown open to the public in 1994, as a museum presenting Australia's history and culture.

It is the work of a 19 year old brilliant architect JJ Clark and reflects the architecture prevalent during those times. Its origin can be traced to 1850s when the gold rush era was at its peak. Besides acting as a store house for gold, it also housed the offices of the Governor, the Premier, the Treasurer and the Auditor General.

One of the highlights of the museum is its gold vaults hosting a contemporary exhibition ‘built in gold'.The Gold Treasury Museum houses three permanent exhibitions ("built on gold", "Melbourne: a city built on gold", "growing up in old treasury") and a rotating program of temporary exhibitions. A comprehensive educational program is offered. The gift shop sells gold rush memorabilia.

Admission All Areas: Adult .50, Concession .00, Family .00.

Hours: 9a- 5p M- F, 10a- 4p Sa & Su.
