The National Holden Motor Museum is a significant collection of Holden vehicles, some dating back to the 1950s and throughout the decades, until the recent demise of Holden car production.
This collection has been made possible by the generous support and donations from local business Geoff King Motors.
The Museum is housed in a unique building, a combination of an original underground World War II bunker converted in 1995 to an exhibition space, together with a second upstairs gallery, completed in 2021.
Visitors can view the outside of the original underground bunker through a large window display, adding to the attraction of your visit.
Downstairs is the National Cartoon Gallery, a collection of over 25,000 cartoons from leading Australian and international cartoonists which hosts rotating cartoon exhibitions curated from the Gallery’s collection.
