Historic Nebo Museum

Welcome to Widi country.

The Nebo Museum is a tribute to the pioneers of the past. In the early 1980s, to celebrate the Shire’s Centenary in 1983, a group of locals began the process of gathering many historic objects and putting them together in a museum collection originally situated in the old Nebo Police Station. Today’s relocated museum opened in 1998. The diverse collection can be viewed during opening hours or arrangements can be made with the Nebo office of Isaac Regional Council (next door) to visit at other times. The Mount Britton Collection of paintings tell a story about the way of life of the early pioneers. Similar pioneer stories have occurred throughout this great land, as it was settled and so these prints have a universal Australian appeal.

At this time, the Historic Nebo Museum is unable to accept object donations as we are focused on improving the care and management of our existing collection. Many items require preservation, and cataloguing is still in progress to ensure they are properly documented and cared for. We are actively working through a Collection Management Plan with guidance from Queensland Museum, and once key recommendations have been implemented, we will review the moratorium on donations. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work towards preserving our region’s history more effectively.
