New Norcia Museum and Art Gallery

The New Norcia Museum and Art Gallery is located in the Benedictine monastic town of New Norcia, about 132 km north of Perth in the Shire of Victoria Plains, Western Australia. Housed in historic convent buildings, it preserves one of Australia's significant monastic collections, including religious art, Aboriginal artefacts, and everyday monastic objects. It is notable as the cultural centre of Australia's only monastic town, founded in 1847, offering insight into Benedictine heritage and regional history.

Visitors can expect a museum and art gallery housed in the former St Gertrude's Convent and related historic buildings within the New Norcia monastery precinct. The interior displays religious paintings, sculptures, vestments, manuscripts, Aboriginal artefacts, and monastic domestic objects collected since the 1840s. Surroundings include the Benedictine abbey, college buildings, olive groves and the town's Spanish-influenced architecture. Exploration is self-guided within gallery spaces and often combined with guided town and abbey tours.
