The Power of Gold
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.
An impressive glass-fronted building with commanding views, the Gold Museum offers an award-winning gift shop specialising in the sale of gold nuggets and Australian-made gold jewellery and fine giftware.
Entry to the Gold Museum is free with your Sovereign Hill ticket. Separate entry is also available.

THE GOLD MUSEUM SHOP
Nowhere on the goldfields will you enjoy a shopping experience more than at the Gold Museum!
Discover your own precious treasures in their beautiful Gift Shop perhaps a gold nugget or coin, a fine piece of gold jewellery or scented oils containing gold flakes and dried Australian wildflowers.
The Ballarat region's rich Aboriginal history is reflected in paintings and jewellery by local artists, and in handcrafted glassware featuring traditional motifs. You'll also find ancient Zebra Rocks hand-painted with goldfields scenes, gold-fired stoneware and native timber jewellery boxes with lids hand-painted in gold.
If you're from overseas, their staff will assist with paperwork for claiming tax rebates on your purchases, and will gladly pack and despatch your treasures if you'd rather not carry them.
