Mamma says this is a fascinating place to visit! If you have ever wondered about the process of farming, shearing and processing wool, then this is the museum for you. The National Wool Museum in Geelong champions our nation’s favourite woolly farm animal and helps explain the history behind the livestock and how the wool goes from the farm, to the factory and to your home.

The museum is a number of storeys tall and has both informative displays, historical artefacts, and interactive models. You’ll see how we use wool in our daily lives in a model home, how it is spun and woven into carpets, and of course the steps it takes to shear those wriggly sheep. See if you can spot the green sheep.

Mamma’s special mention: There is also more that mets the eye at this museum, with a dedicated kids zone downstairs. This exhibit is a city themed experience with interactive games, building zone and space to design a sky scraper. There are lots of hands on tasks, including interactive digital displays. A great way to finish off a visit to the museum.
