Practice your best selfie pose as Museums Bathurst will once again be participating in International Museum Selfie Day on Wednesday 21st January!
Escape the summer heat and explore Bathurst’s fascinating and diverse museums with FREE ENTRY.
Established in 2014, International Museum Selfie Day is celebrated by hundreds of museums across the globe, with the aim to raise awareness of and encourage visitors to actively engage in local museums by taking creative selfies and posting them to social media.
Museums Bathurst has been participating since 2017, with over 2,000 people visiting during Selfie Day 2025. Over 75% of these were from Bathurst and the surrounding areas, showing the community’s love for the event, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for locals to see the world-class museums that are situated right in their own backyard.
You can get face-to-face with a T.rex, marvel at the largest model train display in Australia, immerse yourself in art, enter a home frozen in time, soak in the atmosphere of racing legends, or discover the amazing stories that made the Bathurst region.
Museums Bathurst are encouraging locals to visit all museums on the day and post their selfies with the hashtag #MuseumSelfieBathurst on Facebook and/or Instagram.
