The Gulgong Holtermann Museum is set in two 1870s gold rush buildings now state heritage listed. This educational and tourist facility is based on the renowned UNESCO listed Holtermann Collection of photographs taken during the town's 'roaring' days in the 1870's. The contemporary design of this showcases the black and white photographs digitised, enlarged and mounted o walls through the museum. V

isitors also have access to all photographs on touchscreen throughout the facility. Touchscreen activities for young and old engage visitors in the unique gold rush history in the form of puzzles, animated games and photographic enlargement. The newest feature of the Museum is the narrated interactive street trail. This trails takes the Gulgong Holtermann Collection photographs onto the streets of Gulgong, a first for our region and we and look forward to sharing it with locals and visitors.

These photographs, housed in the State Library of NSW, are now part of the renowned HOLTERMANN COLLECTION which was inscribed on the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register in May 2013.

One of the motivations behind the Gulgong Holtermann Museum was the belief that photographs of such international significance should be made available to as wide an audience as possible using the latest museum display technology.
