Australian Museum

Step into a world of wonder at the Australian Museum, located in the heart of Sydney. With free general entry, it is a must-visit destination for the curious at heart. Founded in 1827, it is Australia's first museum and has over 22 million scientific specimens and cultural objects in its collections.

Experience the rich traditions of Australia's First Nations Salt Water Peoples in Garrigarrang. Learn about the knowledge systems and sustainable practices used for countless generations that helped Australia's First Nations peoples become one of the oldest continuous living cultures on the planet.

Journey back in time and walk among real dinosaur skeletons and life-sized models of prehistoric creatures, including the Australian Muttaburrasaurus and the world's first-ever anatomically correct replica of a T.rex.

Young adventurers will love the Museum's award-winning, immersive learning and play space, where they can explore the world through the eyes of a burra (eel). Filled with interactive play zones and hands-on discovery, it's fun for the whole family.

Refuel and recharge with a range of dining options at the Australian Museum, from lunch with a view over Hyde Park at Bistro Gadi to casual, family-friendly fare at Billabong Waterhole café.
