New Norcia Museum, Art Gallery & Visitor Centre

Start your day at New Norcia at the Visitors Centre where tickets for the Town Tour, Museum & Art Gallery can be purchased.

A visit to The New Norcia Museum and Art Gallery is a must! It is home to one of the finest collections of movable heritage in Australia. Upstairs you'll see paintings by Spanish and Italian masters, gifts from the Queen of Spain and a fascinating array of artefacts which tell the story of New Norcia's time as an aboriginal mission, a centre of the monks' extensive farming activities and as a place of education and culture.

A new Exhibition, ReIncarnations, is on display from the 7 May 2007 until Easter 2008. In this exhibition, drawn exclusively from the holdings of the New Norcia Art Gallery, traditional European representations of the Annunciation, Birth and Death of Jesus hang alongside interpretations by contemporary Australian artists. 
If you missed our Robbed & Restored Exhibition, you can still see a selection of these works in the ReIncarnations Exhibition and in our European Gallery.

The Gift Shop offers a delightful range of local produce, art, books and music.

The best way to discover New Norcia is to take a guided tour. The town's many layers are revealed as you see behind closed doors and hear the stories of New Norcia.
