Coffs Harbour Gallery and Museum

Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery and Museum are now closed as we prepare for our transition to Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) at Yarrila Place. During the transition period we will continue to offer an exciting range of programs and workshops.

Yarrila Arts and Museum will bring a new and exciting future for the gallery and museum with far greater capacity to present a compelling exhibition program across multiple galleries, including an intriguing new permanent museum exhibition that will encapsulate the Coffs Coast region’s rich and fascinating heritage. From Gumbaynggirr stories of spiritual connection to the land, to the stories of lighthouse keepers, pioneers, timber workers, gold miners, farmers and surfers.
