The Broome Historical Museum can be found at 67 Robinson Street in Broome, Western Australia - overlooking Roebuck Bay. We spent several hours looking around this Museum which tells you all about the pearl diving industry in the area and how it has changed over the years. We discovered that Broome was bombed during WWII - some thing I don't remember learning about at school. Historical items can be found around the gardens at the rear of the main building - the Sailmaker's Shed was restored by the Historical Society to house the growing collection.
You will learn about the local Aboriginal people in the area and discover how long they have been living around Broome. Various displays of old appliances used by locals and you can listen to recordings of what life was like in the early days - very interesting.
The museum also houses a massive shell collection - it is interesting to see just how some of these shells were displayed by the collector before being donated. A friend recommended that we visit the Broome Historical Museum while in town and I would highly recommend it as something to do during your holiday.
