Hurstville Museum & Gallery

Hurstville Museum & Gallery opened in 2004 and is part of Georges River Council. Located at 14 MacMahon Street in the heart of the Hurstville CBD, it is the only regional museum and gallery in the St George district. A popular destination for thousands of local and interstate visitors each year, the Museum & Gallery is a vibrant hub of community activity, offering regular talks, programs, special events and dynamic exhibitions. It also provides a range of syllabus-linked educational programs for primary and secondary students.

Hurstville Museum & Gallery is dedicated to preserving the unique history of the area and works closely with the local community to develop engaging art and history exhibitions and public programs.

The permanent exhibition, Georges River Reflections, explores the rich and diverse histories and stories of the region. Themes such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, migration, domestic life, war and more are presented through objects, artworks, interactive displays, and multimedia. The main gallery presents a broad program of art and social history exhibitions, while the Dragon’s Lair Gallery, a community access space, highlights the work of local and emerging artists. The Snapshot Gallery features exhibitions drawn from the Research and Community History photographic collection, paired with objects from the Museum & Gallery to share stories from the area’s vibrant past.

Visitors can immerse themselves in unique historic objects, dynamic art, interactive displays, and insightful historic photographs alongside engaging programs suitable for all ages.
