Waratah North artists Catherine Blamey and Trevor Wheeler have installed two paintings, a district map and two metal-and-glass display cases inside the rotunda opposite Pearl Park in Foster. Catherine was responsible for the paintings, one of which features a Friesian dairy cow standing in rich green pasture, while the other shows a scene in the Strzelecki State Forest. She also produced the district map, which shows the locations of all of the towns and main attractions in the Corner Inlet district. A simple key directs visitors to Foster's Visitor Information Centre just up the street in the Stockyard Gallery complex. Trevor made the display cases and they are filled with local information for visitors to the area. The project was funded using some of the charrettes town planning grant set aside for Foster by the South Gippsland Shire.

In November 1999 the Foster Museum became fully accredited under the Museums Australia (Victoria) Accreditation Program.
Accreditation demonstrates a high level of commitment to the future of the museum and its continual improvement.
