Discovering past has new look

Tweed Shire Council

Discovering the past has taken on a new look at the Tweed Regional Museum with the launch of an updated website.

The website features a cleaner, more vibrant look, is easier to navigate and contains all the information you need to know about the Museum and its branches.

Museum Director Molly Green said Tweed residents and visitors can stay up to date with what's on at the Museum regarding exhibitions, displays, events and other news.

"You can explore our extensive collections online," Ms Green said.

"The Tweed Regional Museum Collection includes more than 20,000 images and 15,000 objects that tell stories of the history and culture of the Tweed, from 20 million years ago to the present day.

"For those who love searching through history, there are more than 5,500 records available to search right now," she said.

How well do you know Murwillumbah or Uki?

"Though the website, you can download heritage walking guides which take you either through the Murwillumbah town centre or along Uki's main road," Ms Green said.

"Brochures of heritage walks are also available at the Museum along with a guide to the many art deco features of Murwillumbah."

For schools and groups, the new website features an online booking form, making it quick and easy to organise a visit to the Museum.

This feature will be especially helpful for schools planning class visits.

"There is material which will be helpful for teachers such as guides explaining our hands-on activities, facilities and information to make a visit both enjoyable and educational," she said.
