During the 1950’s the Geelong Museum in Moorabool Street was pulled down, the collection was dispersed and lost forever.
Many artefacts of value were lost and cannot show future generations the values and sacrifices made to get to where we are today. The members of the Geelong Museum Association desire to ensure the preservation of any material evidence of Geelong’s heritage for the benefit of its citizens and recognises the urgent need for a physical means of educating and inspiring the people of Geelong about its heritage.
The Association consists of a number of existing groups and individuals who facilitate exhibitions about Geelong’s history at the historic Osborne House mansion in North Geelong.
