The model is on display in the window of the Culture Hub so can be seen at any time, or pop into the Hub for a closer look during opening hou...rs Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. https://www.news.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au//model-of-cultur/

09.01.2022 Innovative and exciting - ‘Coffs Collections’, Coffs Harbour City Council’s online collection database was launched today (1 September 2020) at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery. For the very first time, you can discover and journey through the extensive historic and present-day artefacts, oral histories, documents, films, photographs, publications and art collections of Coffs Harbour’s past and present at the touch of a button, all together in the one place and easily accessible from anywhere in the world. https://coffs.recollect.net.au/

08.01.2022 Two spaces in our new building we're excited about are the library's makerspace and the digital creative studio, both of which will provide game-changing practical and creative resources for the people of Coffs Harbour. Our architects have created some sketches to give us an idea of what the spaces will look like and the kinds of things we will be able to do once we're in them - click through on the article to check them out! https://www.news.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au//cultural-and-ci/

05.01.2022 EXCITING Thanks to a $72,300 grant for the Regional Museum announced today by the NSW Government’s Minister for the Arts, Coffs Harbour’s ‘hidden’ histories can be uncovered and given their rightful place in the story of our local heritage. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE FOR MORE INFO).... We want the new Coffs Harbour Regional Museum in the Cultural and Civic Space to reflect the diverse history of this city and the inclusive nature of the present community. We want to make sure that the history of those who belong to, for example, the Gumbaynggirr, former refugee, farming, youth and LGBQI communities, are given the same recognition as other historically more visible groups. This is why the funding will go towards a project to recruit temporary Community Curators who will work alongside museum staff to locate stories and objects currently missing from our collections. https://www.news.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au//hidden-historie/

02.01.2022 What is the role of a museum, how have museums changed and what can we look forward to in our new museum? Banish the idea of fusty, dusty old museums which focus more on objects rather than stories. Museums are still institutions which collect and safeguard artefacts, but they now use multimedia technology such as touchscreens and touch tables, as well as film and audio to engage visitors in meaningful and interesting ways.
