MEDIA RELEASE 07 January 2020

Get ready to take a selfie at your favourite museum or art gallery on International Museum Selfie Day on Wednesday, 15 January.

International Museum Selfie Day encourages people to visit and have fun at their local museums and galleries. The initiative has become an internet hit with hundreds of facilities participating and thousands of visitors around the globe taking imaginative and creative selfies with exhibits.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said the event was extremely popular in previous years and a wonderful way to raise awareness of regional museums and galleries.

“It’s a fun way for children and people of all ages to get creative and enjoy the wonderful facilities that we have in Bathurst,” he said.

Entry to the following facilities will be free on the day:

· Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum

· National Motor Racing Museum

· Chifley Home

· Bathurst Regional Art Gallery

· Bathurst Historical Society Museum

To participate, post your selfie with the hashtag #MuseumSelfieBathurst on Facebook or Instagram. The most imaginative post will receive a $100 Bathurst Buy Local Gift Card.
