Bathurst’s museums enjoyed a welcome influx of visitors in the post-Christmas period, with many tributaries to view the region’s important historical and geological collections.
During the two public holidays [Monday and Tuesday], Museums The three installations of Bathurst [Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum, Bathurst Rail Museum and National Motor Racing Museum] hosted around 2,600 people, with many more stopping off Wednesday to explore Bathurst’s cultural attractions ahead of the New Year.
Australian Fossils and Minerals Museum coordinator Penny Packham said the visit indicated that many visitors are eager to explore the Bathurst area.
“A lot of visitors travel just to see Bathurst and what we have in store, and the numbers show that our museums are playing their part in attracting tourists,” Ms. Packham said.
“Each museum caters to an entirely different demographic, but together they effectively cover not only the history of Bathurst, but society as a whole, from prehistoric life to the contemporary history of motor racing.”
“There is also the strength of the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery [BRAG] and Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Center [BMEC] and their respective power of attraction in attracting visitors to art exhibitions and live performances. “
Ms Packham said Bathurst Museums have a number of ongoing programs for 2022 and beyond, but are moving cautiously with COVID-19 still creating many obstacles for the planning process.
“We have a lot of plans in the work around educational museum offerings, but we’re hesitant to reveal anything for now with COVID still uncertain,” she said.
“Our staff and visitors have adjusted incredibly well during the time, and it was especially heartwarming to see visitors showing the same care for public health authorities as we did, which kept us open.”
Ms Packham said that a new feature of the fossil museum is the Local Stories cabinet, which was introduced in December with the aim of inviting local schools to submit plans for greater public display.
“The firm is currently showing dioramas created by students at MacKillop College on the theme of ecosystems, and we want to involve other schools in the new year,” she said.
“Local Stories gives Bathurst students the opportunity to voice their concerns for the future of our planet, and it is important for them to have a voice because they are the future.”
