A colourful history of the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute and it’s people.

These tours are lead by volunteer tour guides.

Accessiblity – Note

Most of this tour is wheelchair accessible, however the tour does include entry into the BMI Basement, which is not wheelchair accessible. The tour does involve stairs, however a lift is available throughout (except to the basement). This tour is not Auslan interpreted, and the guide does not use any amplification system.
