The Melbourne Museum is spectacular and has been a crowd favourite since its establishment. Maintaining several galleries, the museum displays Australian social history, Aboriginal cultures, science and the environment. This award winning museum of natural and cultural history is a treat for every visitor. Those on holiday and staying at a serviced residence such as Citadines Apart Hotel could make their way to this grandiose venue and have a memorable family day out.
The galleries feature several permanent exhibitions and temporary exhibitions. Aiming to foster young minds between the ages of 3 and 10 the museum flaunts an interactive children’s gallery.
Catering to science, mind & body, marine life and more, the permanent exhibitions feature unique and mind blowing collections. Take a trip down ‘Dinosaur Walk’ and get up close with the skeletons of fantastic beasts of the past, explore the fascinations of an actual living forest at ‘Forest Secrets’ and enhance your knowledge on the aboriginal people in ‘Bunjilaka’. The temporary exhibitions are always exciting. Formatted in to enchanting tales, learn about the World Wars, the once glorious Aztec empire and stories of the Aborigines interpreted in illustrations.
Using inventive, state of the art methods to curate each exhibition imaginatively is a trademark of the Melbourne Museum. The museum exterior is as cutting edge as its interior as the building structure designed post modernist and embraces odd metal shapes and forms, is visually stunning.
