Australian Museum, Sydney Overview

Situated on College Street, Darlinghurst, the Australian Museum is the country's oldest standing museum, globally reputed for its natural history and anthropology collections. The museum offers a variety of learning experiences, some of which include the history of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, climate change, sustainability, life science and earth science. One can also see the magnificent and jaw-dropping dinosaur models and fossils here, an interesting attraction for many.

The age old museum was first opened in 1827. It moved to it's current location in 1849. By the end of the 19th century, various expeditions were launched to collect more artefacts. After the 1950s, many new buildings were added and existing galleries completely overhauled. The museum has held several exhibitions over the years, some involving extremely rare artefacts and specimens. The museum is also a centre for scientific research, with research centres dedicated to various fields of environmental sciences.æ
