Bay Discovery Centre

The Bay Discovery Centre is a social history museum located in the historic Glenelg Town Hall at Moseley Square, Glenelg, in the City of Holdfast Bay, South Australia. Housed in an 1887 heritage building, it explores the history of the Holdfast Bay area, including Kaurna culture, the 1836 Proclamation of South Australia at Glenelg, and the development of Glenelg as a seaside resort town through interactive displays and collections.

Visitors can expect a small interactive museum on the upper floor of the Glenelg Town Hall overlooking Moseley Square and Glenelg Beach. The centre features permanent and temporary exhibitions with photographs, objects, multimedia and interactive displays covering Kaurna heritage, early European settlement, beach culture and local community history. The heritage Town Hall building itself, with its classical architecture and balcony views over the square, is part of the experience.
