One of regional NSW's strongest art collections, housing the Howard Hinton Collection of early 20th century Australian art alongside First Nations works and a hands-on printing museum.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who engage with art and Australian history - the Hinton Collection is genuinely impressive for a regional institution. The printing museum adds a tactile, educational layer that appeals to older children. NERAM Kids workshops are the entry point for younger children.

“this place offers a fantastic two-for-one cultural experience. The printing museum was so unique-it's a fascinating, hands-on journey through the history of communication that you won't find anywhere else. Then, stepping into the contemporary gallery provides a wonderful contrast. The arts in the gallery are so spacious and thoughtfully curated, allowing each piece room to breathe and be fully appreciated. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon, engaging with both the past and the present under one roof.”
