Unley Museum

Unley Museum offers a concise way to explore the history and character of Unley, with changing exhibitions spanning history, art and contemporary topics. Displays use objects, film, interactive elements and photographs, with hands-on activities, games and puzzles that make the museum suitable for families as well as visitors interested in local stories.

The museum is currently being redeveloped and has relocated to interim premises at 39 Oxford Terrace, Unley. Entry is free. Alongside the exhibitions, visitors can use the museum’s library and research resources, take a self-guided tour, join activities or request information about the history of a house. The collection can also be explored online, with the museum inviting donations that help add to its holdings.

For people researching their family history, assistance is available by appointment on Thursdays from 10am to 1pm, with supervised collection access available on Thursdays from 10am to 6pm. The museum is open on Tuesdays from 10am to 4pm and Thursdays from 10am to 6pm, and is closed on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, weekends and public holidays. Its focus on local history makes it a useful stop for Unley residents, families, researchers and anyone wanting a more grounded understanding of Adelaide’s inner southern suburbs.
