The permanent exhibitions at the Mary MacKillop Place Museum are set within a distinctive heritage precinct, with galleries located across four historic buildings. Among these are three dedicated permanent exhibition spaces, as well as Alma Cottage – an original 1855 house museum. As one of the earliest residences connected to Mary MacKillop and the Sisters, Alma Cottage has been thoughtfully furnished in a modest Victorian style, honouring the simplicity and spirit of the Congregation.
