A new window for Eumundi
Eumundi Museum has been under renovation for almost two years – Covid and the incessant rain have not helped – but it will partially reopen on 31 May. The beautiful old church hall displaying the history of Eumundi will once again be open to the public. The front portico that greets everyone travelling along Memorial Dr was itself a renovation as it dated back to the late 1950s. The addition includes nine stained-glass windows which have been adored by museum visitors over the past quarter of a century. As part the museum’s renovations these have been restored by Sunshine Coast stained-glass professionals Bello Vetro. Once a stallholder at
the Original Eumundi Markets, Craig now runs this leadlight business with his son Dale. Their work has made the front windows stronger and brighter than ever. Perhaps even more exciting was the discovery of an arch above the front door of the original building from 1911. This was unknown until asbestos walls were removed in 2021 as part of the renovation. Museum director Joe Hextall suggested a stained-glass tree reminiscent of the town’s memorial trees and the logo of the Eumundi Historical Association which owns and operates the museum. It now displays a delightful sapling created by Bello Vetro and the museum welcomes you to come and admire it in person.
