Belinda MacdonaldJune 9, 2013Do the guided tour! The guide was very informative, it runs for about an hour and they base it on what the audience themselves are interested in.
Emilijan SekulovskiSeptember 25, 2015The aboriginal section is extraordinary. Wonderful museum, definitely worth visiting.- Vicky MachinanSeptember 13, 2016They have the oldest aboriginal artefacts exhibition and it tells the story beautifully! Worth a visit or two.
- MACMay 15, 2023Love this museum for its variety of displays over 4 levels, with interesting information for each one. Not so large a museum, which makes it less boring. Great taxidermy work and Egyptian exhibits!
Naomi JohnsonFebruary 2, 2018Some of the oldest museum displays in the country combined with new discoveries
The South Australian biodiversity exhibit is exceptional... Spend an hour or so getting to know the local fauna!
The museum host some great exhibitions including the Wildlife Photographer of the Year all the way from London in May/June.
Danny MJanuary 30, 2012Definitely check out the "Journey to the Abyss" exhibit while it's still here.
Catch the lion twitching, search for the giant squid and find the mumified cat.
