Jervis Bay Maritime Museum
The Jervis Bay Maritime Museum features a world-renowned collection of maritime artefacts and navigational and surveying instruments. The Museum exhibits a range of nautical equipment, models, photographs, paintings, drawings and objects relating to the history and heritage of the Jervis Bay area.
The museum also has several exhibition spaces which house changing art, craft and heritage-based shows.
The Museum is home to the historic Lady Denman ferry and other historic vessels.
Located in Huskisson, Jervis Bay, the Museum enjoys a waterfront location on Currambene Creek. Positioned in a beautiful bush setting in Jervis Bay, the complex includes a large recreation area with native gardens, a mangrove boardwalk, pond, boathouse and historic buildings.
The Jervis Bay region has a rich history of Indigenous culture, and the museum sits on the land traditionally owned by the Dharawal and Dhurga people. The Indigenous culture of the area is outlined in the Jervis Bay History exhibition.
Children under 16 receive free entry when accompanied by an adult.
Due to current health advice on social distancing, some of the ferries is not accessible.
