The Busselton Museum

This museum is awesome! Spent 3 hours wandering around, such a variety on display. Highly recommended

Apparently they had a serious fire through this museum (or part of it) a few years ago and it's a tribute to the hard-working volunteers that you'd never know if they didn't tell you.
Stacks of interesting exhibits and a good historical overview of Busselton and the surrounding area.
Well worth a visit!

I love community museums, with their eclectic collections and everything on display ethos. The central story here is around the dairy industry as it is in an old butter factory. But there is plenty of other material.
A gorgeous location on the banks of the river would be lovely to bring a picnic with you.
There were limited stories with objects, which would have made a difference. I also couldn’t find much about the local aboriginal communities and their relationships to the industry and events displayed. This would have also been a great addition.
I visited with a 6,10 and 14 year old who all found interesting elements to look at.
It really is an interesting way to spend a few hours. And you don’t have to exit through the gift-shop.

So interesting. An incredible range of indoor and outdoor displays. Its not just about butter! Its about history with a huge collection of memorabilia. Displays of farm equipment, buggies, household items, a telephone exchange, settler's house and so on.
Interesting to learn about the group settlements scheme which brought settlers to Busselton.

Excellent museum with whole history, artefacts and plenty of outside and inside exhibits. Well worth a visit. You can spend a lot of time here. Nice ladies on the reception desk. Hidden gem.

We spent a long while exploring the museum and were happily suprised to see parts of the fire integrated as part of the exhibits, very educational and the staff were very kind.

Lovely volunteers. We were travelling with our dogs. The ladies let us put them out in the back garden while we went through to have a look. Shady and a great spot for lunch (but you have to bring your own). Will definitely go back next time passing through, so much to look at.

A lot of stuff that brought back memories of our childhoods. Well laid out and interesting local history. Worth a visit for sure.

An extensive local history museum with knowledgable volunteers. It was easy to loose a few hours here as you make your way through the various themed rooms and out buildings.

Great place to wander through, Busselton is of particular interest to me because this was the first point of call for my grandfather, father and uncles and aunts before settling in Metricup. My great great grandfather on my mother's side of the family first came to Busselton and landed at West Street before moving to Nannup, Scott River and Augusta. He also ran a coastal cutter trading up the coast between Cape Leeuwin and Fremantle. The lady at reception was very helpful in assisting me to learn more about my heritage.

Bring enough time to see the many different tools and artefacts from the past. Indoor and outdoor areas and lovely pavilion at the water's edge.
Wonderful to learn about the history of the area.

Have never been in here before, as a Busselton resident I have passed lt a thousand times.
Take my advice and visit this incredible jewel in Busseltons crown. Something for all ages and will take a hour or two to take everything in.

Excellent. Took me back to my childhood and I still use some of what they had as exhibits myself as inherited from my mother!

Lived in busselton 10 years first time I've been in there, definitely going back again to take in alot more history then I could have imagined that surrounds busselton

Great little museum, lots of memories. Much bigger than expected. Covered a wide variety of items.something for everyone. Informative and educational.

Super impressive museum. Amazing depth of historical items. The 2 ladies in front of house we’re amazing and so friendly.

Probably one of the best museums in the south of WA. Visited on a rainy August day. Staff friendly. Lots of exhibits covering it's days as butter factory, the last standing in WA.

The Busso Meseum is loving run by volunteers and located in what used to be the Butter Factory!
An amazing collection of local items dating back to the early days a of settlement. A great display of the old butter factory machinery items used. A credit to the community & pleasent surprise to tourists

This is a gorgeous Country museum which is filled with a wide variety of historical artefacts ranging from wagons, machinery, clothing and furniture. There is a great deal to see and learn about. Definitely worth the visit.

Loved the couple of hours in this museum, keep up the good work thanks to the friendly helpful volunteers.
