The Emerald Museum is an archival repository and history museum housed among the gorgeous, sprawling Nobelius Heritage Park, located less than a one-hour drive from Melbourne's CBD.
The Museum contains over 5,000 objects across four sub-collections which relate to the history of the former C. A. Nobelius & Sons Nursery, as well as the local Emerald community and surrounding districts.
