Clunes Museum is an historic building (circa 1860) the former warehouse of contractors Nichol and Wallace who supplied goods to the miners, farmers and residents, of what was then a very busy mining town.
The building was donated to the people of Clunes by Holly Barkell in memory of her husband. The Museum is owned by the Hepburn Shire Council and administered by volunteers.
The Museum was established in 1976. Aiming to achieve excellence in Museum Management it was Accredited in May 1999, by the Museums Association Australia (Vic).

This is the place where Victoria’s history changed so dramatically. In 1851 the first gold discovered in Victoria was found here and the great gold rush was on, with miners flocking in from right around the globe.
That gold history is still so clearly evident, as Clunes has possibly the best collection of well-preserved 19th century architecture. The main street is still wide enough to turn a horse and wagon.

At the same time it was decided to construct a road on the west side of Yuille's Swamp (Lake Wendouree) to be known as Wendouree Parade.
