About

Situated in the centre of Camden’s historic precinct the Museum features displays highlighting the local Aboriginal community, the Macarthur family, agricultural industries, the Nepean River and its place in the community and women’s history. 

The collection is particularly strong in photography, archives and over 2500 objects. The Museum has an active education program covering several key learning areas of the school syllabus. A Federation grant has facilitated new and improved exhibitions and site interpretation.

Camden Museum was established in the former School of Arts and Municipal Council building in 1970 and is operated by the Camden Historical Society.

Museums & Galleries of NSW helps small-medium museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural centres create exciting experiences for visitors and, through this, thriving local NSW communities. We don’t run museums, galleries and cultural centres but we care about those who do. We develop their skills, connect them with others in the industry, provide funding, point visitors their way, and give them access to ground-breaking exhibitions.

Museums & Galleries of NSW is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Museums & Galleries of NSW acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and all the other Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work.
We pay respect to them as First Nations people with continuing connection to land, place, waters and community.
