What’s happening on @NationalMotorMuseum

  • We're saddened to learn of the passing of George Ogilvie AM, Australian theatre director and co-director of the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The museum is home to "Bigfoot", a star of the film, seen here behind Tina Turner's character, Aunty Entity. Image: Ronald Grant archive.
  • HELP! Did you (or someone you know) come from Italy and work at the Holden factory? 🇮🇹 The education team at @historysa are developing online education materials and want to tell your stories! 📖 Have you got a story to share? Any photos? Get in touch through a message or in the comments if you can help!
  • Our doors may be closed for the time being...but we're definitely still here! We'll be developing new and exciting ways to bring our collection directly to you. 🏠 ⬅️ 🚗 In the meantime, check out our online galleries on our Google Arts & Culture page. Link in bio 🔗
  • The National Motor Museum will close its doors as of midday today, Monday 23 March until further notice. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The safety and well-being of our visitors, employees, volunteers and the broader community is our top priority. We are taking these steps as a public health precaution in support of measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This decision has been made in line with the new national widespread social gathering measures announced by the Prime Minister yesterday. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Thank you for your understanding. It is important that community health and safety are paramount. Take care.⁠⠀
