    Default Australian Pen Museum

    Staying in Wagga Wagga NSW atm and happened to see a reference to the Australian Pen Museum in this town.

    Apparently it was located at 159 Fernleigh St, within Tolland Hardware.

    When we went there the building marked Tolland Hardware was empty and For Lease.

    Does anyone know what happened to the Australian Pen Museum?

    Travelling to Cowra tomorrow, but would love to find out if it still exists so we can have a look at it during a future visit.

    Here is a little video I found on Youtube

    Hi Fred,

    according to this facebook page (as of Feb) the museum is still looking for a new home.
    https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...21962107854273

    This link is much older where the curator Bruce Wicks was looking to move it to Gundagai - though that doesn't seem to have happened.
    http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/st...m-to-gundagai/

    I guess the best bet would be to find contact info for Bruce, to see if he has had any luck re-homing it.

    Cheers, Jeff

    You could also post on the Facebook site for the pen museum and perhaps Bruce may respond

    Thanks for that Jeff, I had seen the reference to moving it to Gundagai but as I am not on Facebook I hadn't seen that link.
