With the assistance of a $900,000 Regional Development grant from the State Government, $1.25M from the Greater Shepparton City Council and $2.5M from the Federal Government Regional Jobs and Investment Package, Shepparton’s Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE) is about to expand.
The extensions will be on the current museum at Emerald Bank with architect Allister Sarris helping to make sure the cavernous building housing the displays is a journey of surprises and discoveries for visitors.
The chair of MOVE, Leanne Hulm said, “This is an exciting time for the supporters of MOVE, the dreamers who envisaged a permanent museum that reflects our significant role in transport in Victoria.”
MOVE is a community based not-for-profit museum dedicated to delivering an innovative and ambitious collection, that celebrates the role of transportation, motoring and trucking, in shaping our way of life.
Through hosting permanent and special exhibitions and events, MOVE will become a major national attraction for Shepparton.
