Kyneton Museum is currently closed for restoration works.
The former Bank of New South Wales building in Piper Street was built in 1856. Restoration is being undertaken on the roof of the building in line with heritage specifications, as well as internal floor maintenance.
During the closure period, museum staff will review and care for items in various collections held by Macedon Ranges Shire Council, including the heritage collection, art collection and public art collection.
Upon completion of the restoration works by the end of June, the museum will open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with a new exhibition called Stitch in Time.
The exhibition uncovers the innovations of local craft hobbies throughout the years and includes items from the council’s in-house collection and the Kyneton Historical Society.
