Heritage & History

Hive’s Museum and Art Gallery

Dive into the Central Coast’s rich history at Hive’s Museum and Art Gallery. Here, you can also view a range of collections and artefacts reflective of our extraordinary community history.

The Museum collection has been shaped through decades of individual donations and is an insight into how the Central Coast municipal area has become what it is today.

With a Research Library, you can also find local records relating to Births, Deaths and Marriages, Burials, Property Valuations, Assessment Rolls, Post Office Directories and Military Records.

Access to the Research Library is by appointment. Contact Hive’s Visitor Services team to arrange a time.
