The Bradman Museum is the world's best cricket museum and the main reason many visitors come to Bowral. It sits beside Bradman Oval, where the young Donald Bradman played his early cricket, and holds an extraordinary collection of memorabilia, equipment, and documents relating to cricket's greatest player and the sport's broader history.
Even non-cricket fans often find themselves absorbed here — the museum is well-designed, and Bradman's story is genuinely remarkable. The adjacent Bradman Oval is still a functioning cricket ground, and watching a match here while looking at the hills is one of the more pleasant ways to spend a Saturday afternoon in the Southern Highlands.
