This museum was a lovely surprise. I learned a lot about history, visited an exhibition, and also the shop which was great. There lots of nice wool jumpers, scarves and socks and other products in the shop.

I visited the National Wool Museum yesterday and it was a fascinating experience. The museum does an excellent job of showcasing Australia’s wool industry from its early beginnings to modern day production. One of the highlights for me was learning about the deep connection between Australia’s Aboriginal people and the land as well as their historical contributions to the industry. The exhibits are well organized featuring interactive displays, historical artifacts, and even a working wool processing machine. The museum presents not just the technical aspects of wool production but also the social and cultural impacts making it an educational and engaging experience. Overall I highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in Australian history, textiles or just looking for something unique to do in Geelong. It’s a great place to appreciate how wool shaped Australia’s economy and culture over the years.

I enjoyed my trip to the museum after a very long time. They have merino and possum wool socks here which I do enjoy wearing.

Years since we were here...great use of a historic building. Displays are great. International Naure Photography Photos were so good too.

Definitely a hidden treasure in Geelong where I learned so much about wool industry and history context. They also have a gigantic textile machine in display which is about three-storey tall. It was unfortunately under repair on the day I visited.
