Heritage museum move

By NOEL MURPHY

GEELONG Heritage Centre has relocated to National Wool Museum to make way for a new landmark $45 million facility.
The centre, to be rehoused late 2015 in the controversial dome-shaped library and heritage building, fields up to 10,000 inquiries a year, mostly from family tree researchers but also students, academics, authors and others.
The heritage centre’s reading room has been relocated to the top floor of the wool museum in the interim.
Council heritage portfolio holder Tony Ansett said a “huge amount of work” was involved in packing and moving the centre’s records and artefacts.
