National Motor Museum
About This Museum
What really sets the National Motor Museum apart is its incredible story of Australian life on the road, told through more than just cars. Wandering through the halls feels like flipping through a living family album, where every vehicle has a tale to tell. You'll find everything from dusty outback workhorses to impossibly glamorous vintage classics that once graced city streets. It’s a place that truly captures the nation's love affair with the automobile.
Collection Highlights
Keep an eye out for the 1927 Rolls-Royce that was once owned by a Melbourne chocolatier, and don't miss the rugged 1913 Delage that tackled some of Australia's toughest early roads. The collection of quirky micro-cars and historic motorcycles is a real crowd-pleaser, too.
Visitor Information
It's easy to spend a whole afternoon here getting lost in the stories, and you'll definitely want to pop into their gift shop before you leave—it's full of fantastic motoring memorabilia and model cars.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a series of spacious, no-fuss brick buildings that feel like classic Australian industrial sheds, which is just perfect for the incredible machines inside.
