The Salvation Army Museum’s Sydney campus is moving into a new space at Auburn Corps in Sydney’s west.

 

The museum (formerly known as a heritage centre) has been housed at The Salvation Army’s Bexley North property since 1983.

 

The moving process is in full swing with boxes being carefully packed under the supervision of Assistant Museum Manager Don Callaghan.

 Don expects the museum to reopen at its new site later this year or in the new year. He says the new site will be located within the vibrant Auburn Corps’ ministry space, which will no doubt bring new people into contact with Salvation Army history.

 

“We will still be doing research as well,” he says. “The museum will be on the first floor, and office space and research space will be on the second floor.”

 

A reopening celebration is being planned for people to tour the new museum space.

 

More details will be communicated shortly on salvosonline.org.au

 

The Salvation Army Melbourne Museum remains at 69 Bourke St.
