National Museum of Australia

The Museum is located on the shores of Canberra’s Lake Burley Griffin and is renowned for its stunning architecture. The Museum tells the comprehensive story of Australia from 65,000 years ago to the present day through compelling objects, ideas, events and displays, focussing on Indigenous histories and cultures, European settlement and our interaction with the environment. The Museum also hosts blockbuster touring exhibitions (admission prices vary). One way to get the best out of the museum is to take a guided tour.
