This was a pretty great experience, it’s not the biggest museum but all those gems and stones are something that I had never seen before and it’s definitely worth going. They also have some pretty cool dinosaur skeletons.

Wow what an amazing place! It has an AMAZING minerals exhibition with so much information and laid out so amazingly! Then you step through to the fossil and dinosaur exhibition and you're in for another surprise. So many fantastic fossils laid out in chronological order with so much ieasy to understand and labelled information. To top this off, a fantastic T-Rex skeleton along with a few others. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bathurst. Or even better, get.pass for all three excellent museums here in Bathurst and see them all! Minerals and Dinosaur, Train and Mt Panorama museums..(It's actually cheaper to get a pass for all three)

I’m not one for minerals but this gallery changed that with the Albert Chapman collection. Make sure you checkout the dinosaur eggs, not posting so you can see them for yourself! Shoutout to the staff for the lovely customer service.

Really very good indeed. (And only 4 stars, because we've travelled widely and seen the best in the world. This was fantastic, but not quite to that level.) A superb museum to drop into, especially if you're not quite sure that rocks, minerals and fossils are your thing. Excellent specimens, and very good explanations / signage. The fossils displays had one of the best explanations I've ever seen.

Great experience. Has some amazing minerals to look at and the read about. It has an interesting collection of fossils as well and the skeletons of the trex are of course popular with the young ones.

An amazing opportunity to learn and discover the history of the natural resources found within our planet, and learn a little about the creatures that once roamed our beautiful earth. A must see place to visit to experience one of the best collections found in Australia.

Great rock exhibits. Lots of interesting info, including relating minerals back to every day items like toothpaste.

INCREDIBLE! I could have spent all day there! What an amazing display, so well labelled and beautifully displayed. So many rare and unusual crystals....I was in my element. The fossil collection was educational. Easy to access and a must see, set in an old school building.
