Displays include the Yallourn open cut No. 8 dredger cabin, an intricately detailed model of the Yallourn Power Station and the 6-megawatt turbine generator from the now-demolished Hazelwood Power Station.

Explore fascinating photographic memorabilia displays, paintings, clothing, homewares, tools and medals of the original township known, up until 1947, as Brown Coal Mine.

From the museum's garden you can also look across the street to Yallourn Mine!
