What’s happening on @NationalMotorMuseum

  • AN IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BAY TO BIRDWOOD As the Australian, State and Territory Governments further ease restrictions, we are hoping that the Bay to Birdwood will still be able to go ahead this year. The event is just over three months away and we are maintaining a positive planning posture, however, at all times, the health of all our event participants, volunteers, spectators, and team remains are our utmost priority. In the coming weeks we will be seeking clearance from South Australian health and police authorities to hold the event as planned on Sunday 27 September. We will continue to monitor the situation, and keep you up to date as things evolve. Meanwhile, thank you for your ongoing support and patience, and we ask you to have a safe and enjoyable lead-up to the 40th anniversary of one of the world’s great historic motoring events. For the full update from our Chair, Michael Neale, head to www.baytobirdwood.com.au
  • Planning a road trip this weekend? These little Spotto cards might come in handy! Of course, they're from the 1950s or early 60s, so you may struggle finding some of the items (good luck spotting an oil basket or a milk bar!) They were kindly donated to our George Brooks Library by Bill Cumpston. Do you remember any other great car games? #visitadelaidehills #spotto #roadtrip #1950s
  • Capacity in the Museum has increased to 75 people starting today 19 June. To find more details on our session times, capacities and to book your ticket online please check our website.
