Eureka Centre

About

Eureka Centre Ballarat is an interpretive centre in the Eureka Stockade Memorial Park. It features a small permanent exhibition on the Eureka Rebellion and houses the Eureka Flag, which has been on loan from the Art Gallery of Ballarat since 2013. It also hosts lectures and a café, Lilly's at Eureka. The first museum on the site, the Eureka Stockade Centre, opened in 1993. It was replaced by the privately owned Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (MADE) in 2013. The City of Ballarat closed MADE in 2018. The mayor said its $1 million annual operating costs were not justified due to declining visitor numbers. The city began developing the current Eureka Centre the same year.
