Esperance Museum, Esperance

Esperance Museum was a delightful little gem to explore during our stay between Christmas and New Year 2021. A quirky, carefully curated museum that reflects the history of the area with a strong focus on the war time efforts and pastoralism. The repurposing of the old stores makes for a marvellous space to house one of the most interesting collections I have ever wandered through. Would highly recommend a visit. Entry fee is completely affordable and more than well worth it.

Such a fantastic trip down memory lane. Such a lot of local history in one place that I can highly recommend and not to pricey for the family. I have to say that a stand out display for me was all the debris from Skylab which fell in the area. So interesting.

Filled to the brim with exhibits featuring Esperance history. Well worth popping in, easy to spend a few hours there and a variety of subjects to learn about.

Sneaking into this humble looking from the outside museum, there’s so much of surprises to discover. Lady in front is friendly and helpful. With a little price tag to pay, you can easily spend over 2 hours there with kids having fun exploring the train and calling each other on the telephone booth while the adults learning about the Skylab and so many historical gems. Was once fully ran by volunteers, now partially, this place has been very well maintained. Toilet is surprisingly sparkling clean! This place is full of potential and is highly recommended for those who appreciate to learn about things of previous generations used (when the world was still plastic free).

Rustic looking from outside but once you step in you are immersed with the rich, well displayed history of Esperance. The museum covers everything you could think of from SkyLab, War and farming, we spent a good two hours looking around and definitely felt like we got our moneys worth and more (the entry fee is very cheap).
