At the Belmont Mini-Museum you will discover a unique collection of artefacts relating to the local history of the districts within the City of Belmont. From a beautiful stained glass window to a giant map, a quirky false teeth vulcaniser to early technology, there is something for everyone in our hands-on Museum.
As part of the exciting new Community Centre development, the Belmont Museum is currently ‘bunked in’ with the Ruth Faulkner Public Library. The display space may be smaller but great things can come in small packages! Our exhibitions continue to change regularly so be sure to check our What’s On section or sign up for our mailing list.
Telephone 9477 7450 or 9477 7150 from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday to make an appointment, excursion or group booking and discover your local history.

Belmont Museum Oral Histories - Share Your Belmont Stories With Us!
The Belmont Museum's oral history program records the memories and experiences of people who have lived, worked or played in Belmont and surrounding areas.
Their stories are fascinating, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always diverse, authentic and personal.
To listen to the stories and memories of Belmont's past click here. Copies are also available for loan from Ruth Faulkner Public Library.
We are always looking for more Belmont stories and keen to record the memories of our Belmont locals past and present. Every life story is important to us!
We are interested in all eras of local history and people of all backgrounds. If you would like to share your story with us, or know someone whose story should be recorded, please fill in and send us an Oral History Nomination Form to be considered for inclusion in the Oral History Program.
If you would like more information on our oral history program, please contact the Curator on 9477 7450 or museum@belmont.wa.gov.au.
