Tweed Regional Museum's Murwillumbah branch on Queensland Road tells the story of the Tweed and its people. At its core is the permanent, interactive exhibition Land, Life, Culture, which explores the cultural, biological and geological forces that have shaped the valley — from deep geological time through to the present day. A lively program of changing exhibitions draws on the museum's collection and explores significant people, places and events from across the Tweed.
The collection runs to more than 50,000 images and 15,000 objects, with local landmarks like the massive Robey steam engine, the original Council Chambers meeting table and the larger-than-life fibreglass "Banana Jim", mascot of the historic Banana Festival. Admission is free and no booking is needed, making it an easy, family-friendly stop in town.
A free, family-friendly hour or two learning local history — Aboriginal culture, natural history and Tweed heritage — through hands-on displays and changing exhibitions.
