The Australian Motorlife Museum

Galleries, Museums and Collections

The considerable changes in technology, developed alongside the motor vehicle from 1880 – have changed the way we live. The museum proudly embraces this technology and provides a showcase of many of these items alongside the vehicles of the period!

The museum hosts 3000 square metres of display area and is the second-largest museum and motoring reference library in Australia. The museum is the custodian of several vehicles and artefacts that are the only surviving pieces of its kind in the world.
