The home of the Mighty Hawks, the Hawks Museum tells the story of the people that have made the Hawthorn Football Club the most successful club in the last 50 years, 13 Premierships, six Brownlow medals, eight Norm Smith medals and arguably the two best full forwards in the history of the game.
The Hawks Museum gained accreditation with Museums Australia in 2013 and gained re-accreditation in 2019.
You can enjoy a self-guided tour of the Museum with our Information Tablet providing in-depth explanations of the various exhibits and displays.
