Maryborough Military & Colonial Museum

Located in the Wharf Street Precinct, as part of Portside and opposite the Bond Store, the Maryborough Military & Colonial Museum provides a testament to not only those heroes who fought in distant lands to ensure our way of life and prosperity, but also those courageous and determined people who pioneered and progressed the Maryborough area for nearly two centuries.

On display, housed in a magnificent building erected in 1879:

  • Over 7,000 items of military and colonial memorabilia
  • Victoria Cross, Cross of Valour, many other significant medals
  • Uniforms and period costumes, historic vehicles, scale models
  • Trench art, paintings, murals and wood sculpture

Our extensive library houses many forms of written historical data including over 2,000 books, primarily of Australian and New Zealand military history, dating from pre Boer War and pre Federation to the present.

At the Maryborough Military & Colonial Museum there are research facilities for family historians and there are pianists to entertain visitors. The museum is open from 9.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 12.30pm Saturday and Sunday. Closed Public Holidays.
