Planning your visit
The museum is at 6 Workshop Way in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Its phone number is +61-2-4974-1400, which is the best way to check current arrangements before you set out. The facts available here do not list opening hours or admission details, so please confirm these directly.
Because the museum focuses on the region's heritage, it pairs well with a wider day exploring Newcastle itself. Visitors can use their time at the museum to get a sense of the city's industrial roots, then carry that context into the streets, waterfront and neighbourhoods they explore afterwards.
