Hawkesbury Regionalmuseum
Überblick
Das Hawkesbury Regional Museum in Windsor blickt auf eine lange Geschichte zurück und beherbergt ein reiches indigenes Kulturerbe, das vom Volk der Dharug geschaffen wurde, sowie eine unverwechselbare bauliche Umgebung aus den Anfängen der Kolonie. Das Museum bewahrt und vermittelt dieses Erbe für Einwohner und Besucher, von denen viele familiäre Bindungen zur Region haben.
Das Besuchererlebnis umfasst ein neues, eigens errichtetes Museum und das denkmalgeschützte Gebäude Howe House. Zusammen bilden sie eine einzigartige Kultureinrichtung auf einem der ältesten Landbesitze Australiens. Neben einer Dauerausstellung zu den Themen Fluss, Land und Menschen bietet das Museum wechselnde Sonderausstellungen zu einer Vielzahl von Themen.
