Gold Museum

The Gold Museum extends Sovereign Hill's story of Ballarat – a majestic provincial city built on the wealth derived from the great Australian gold rushes of the 1850s. Discover the beauty and power of gold as you view an impressive and valuable collection of gold nuggets, alluvial deposits, priceless gold artefacts and gold coins. 'Ballarat: Inspired by Gold' is a major exhibition presenting the story of Ballarat from its earliest days through to European settlement and the amazing impact of the gold rushes.
