The Black Museum
Highlights

- Discover the expert eye of owner Athol Birnie, steeped in the rich heritage of antiquities and collectibles.
- Browse an ever-changing array of items, from affordable curios to stunning art pieces valued in the thousands.
- Enjoy a weekend visit to Marburg, where The Black Museum invites you to uncover fascinating stories from bygone eras.
Head to the country town of Marburg and discover a unique set of browse-worthy offerings.
Among them is The Black Museum, housing a cleverly sourced and curated collection of curios, art and antiquities – all of which are for sale.
It’s obvious the minute you walk in, that there’s an expert’s eye involved. Owner Athol Birnie grew up surrounded by remnants of bygone eras, and eventually helping in the business his father Les has run for many years now, Scotland Yard Antiques, just a bit further along Marburg’s main street.
The vast ever-changing collection includes pieces priced from a few dollars right through to stunning hard-to-find art valued into the several thousand.
Open 9:00am – 4:00pm on the weekends and by appointment during the week.
The name continues the theme set by Scotland Yard Antiques – the famed London police headquarters where there is a Black Museum housing crime memorabilia. Athol’s Sister Emily also runs with the theme in her garden shop and coffee stop next door, Special Branch Collective.
