About This Location

The Australian Museum, founded in 1827, is the country's oldest museum and holds over 21 million scientific specimens and cultural objects. The collection spans anthropology, geology, paleontology, and zoology—but the real showstopper is the complete skeleton of a T-Rex that looms over visitors. After a major renovation in 2022, the museum reopened with modern exhibits that bring its vast collections to life. But remember: with 21 million items, you're only seeing a fraction of what's stored behind those walls.
