What’s happening on @NationalMotorMuseum

  • Please note a change of opening hours at the Museum this weekend due to the Bay to Birdwood. We will NOT be opening until 2 pm on Sunday 27 September.
  • Did you know today is #internationaldogday ? Dogs are some of the absolute best road trip companions - this photo from the @nationallibraryaus shows Clive Birtles, the younger brother of legendary Australian motoring and cycling pioneer Francis Birtles, with his dog Wowser lookin' extra cool. Their 1912 5-month trip in a Ford Tourer from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria had two doggos - Francis was accompanied by his own best pal Dinkum.
  • A small glimpse of Spring has sprung at the National Motor Museum today. Here's our Mill Building fabulously highlighted by our Manchurian Pear trees in bloom.
  • A little flashback today... in the 80s the Museum's collection was featured in collectable cards you could find in @weetbixau packets! Someone recently donated this complete album to us. Do you remember these?
