This interesting museum is split over two sites: this one, in the historic Council Chambers building, and the second, adjacent to the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens; the latter site focuses on Wagga's people, places and events. The Botanic Gardens site undertook a major renovation throughout 2018 and early 2019, incorporating modern exhibition spaces for many interesting items previously in storage.
