Do 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.

The aboriginal section is extraordinary. Wonderful museum , definitely worth visiting.

Vicky Machinan

They have the oldest aboriginal artefacts exhibition and it tells the story beautifully! Worth a visit or two.

Love 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 !
