Esperance Museum

Very interesting lot's to see, spent 2 hours looking around. Had bit's of Skylab when it crashed in the outback.

Esperance Museum was a delightful little gem to explore during our stay between Christmas and New Year 2021. A quirky, carefully curated museum that reflects the history of the area with a strong focus on the war time efforts and pastoralism. The repurposing of the old stores makes for a marvellous space to house one of the most interesting collections I have ever wandered through. Would highly recommend a visit. Entry fee is completely affordable and more than well worth it.

Sneaking into this humble looking from the outside museum, there’s so much of surprises to discover. Lady in front is friendly and helpful.With a little price tag to pay, you can easily spend over 2 hours there with kids having fun exploring the train and calling each other on the telephone booth while the adults learning about the Skylab and so many historical gems.Was once fully ran by volunteers, now partially, this place has been very well maintained. Toilet is surprisingly sparkling clean!This place is full of potential and is highly recommended for those who appreciate to learn about things of previous generations used (when the world was still plastic free).

It is such a pity that volunteers are so hard to come by.This necessitates the opening hours to be rather restricted.Some folks would say seen one museum you have seen them all". This is not the case! The Esperance Museum is definitely unique and has to be put on every Esperance visitor's must do list!"

This was a great museum. It has lots of old items from old school vacuums to a big train.They also provided a game for the kids to try and find all the things inthe picture which was very cool and kept the kids interested.I would visit again.

Small but lots of things to see, from agriculture to marine stuff, trains, shells and skylab things.

Filled to the brim with exhibits featuring Esperance history. Well worth popping in, easy to spend a few hours there and a variety of subjects to learn about.

Such a fantastic trip down memory lane. Such a lot of local history in one place that I can highly recommend and not to pricey for the family. I have to say that a stand out display for me was all the debris from Skylab which fell in the area. So interesting.

What a great museum with so much in it.Well laid out and very relevant to the area.Loved the train in the middle of the museum. Unfortunately I missed it each time it came by!!!!Having the questions on the pamphlet was a great idea.It brought back memories of when I was growing up particularly with the communication equipment and the household items.Staff were very friendly and helpful.Thank you
