The largest private collection of antiques and collectables in the Blue Mountains at Leura.
Bygone Beautys invites you to visit the largest private emporium of antiques and collectables in the Blue Mountains. A trove for treasure-hunters and all who love a living touch of history. Take a trip down memory lane as you browse through rooms filled with jewellery, furniture, fine china, dinner services, dolls and toys. Bygone Beautys' showrooms are located in the village of Leura and are only a short walk from the train station.

Bygone Beautys, home of the Treasured Teapot Museum, is one of the best-kept secrets in the Blue Mountains. After discovering Bygone Beautys for the first time, many visitors are pleasantly surprised and refer to it as ‘an emporium’ or liken it to what they would imagine the legendary ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ to be. These phrases are in response to the sheer number and huge variety of items on display at Bygone Beautys. Each room, including the tearoom, is stocked from floor to ceiling with treasures and potential gifts, waiting to be discovered. The most common statements from visitors after viewing the antiques, collectables, jewellery, contemporary gifts, teapots and much more are: "It's a treasure trove"; "It's like stepping back in time"; and "What an unexpected surprise!"

What is a World Heritage Area?
The World Heritage Areas of this planet host the most wondrous places. Marvellous medieval cities, reefs with densely populated marine life, millions of hectares of sandstone plateaux, majestic buildings like the Taj Mahal and Statue of Liberty – all this is only one grain of what the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has chosen as vital in the protection of our cultural and natural heritage.

Inspired Art
WorldHeritageArt.com is an online portal showcasing works inspired by the natural beauty, diversity and spirit of these remarkable places. The artworks featured online include paintings, sculptures, glass, photography, ceramics and prints.

Currently, they include some of Australia ’s finest contemporary artists who live and work in the nation’s World Heritage Areas, as well as some works by visiting artists who draw their creative inspiration from these spectacular regions. In time, we envisage artists representing sites the whole world over. At present, we have commenced with the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in Australia.

Moving Ahead
In future, we will expand to include other world heritage areas in Australia , such as the amazing mixed site combining exceptional natural and cultural values at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park , and the stunning but unfortunately endangered natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef . In time, we plan to represent sites in Asia, Europe, the Americas , Africa , and the rest of the world.
