Australian Museum

The Australian Museum has an international reputation in the fields of natural history and indigenous studies research, community programs and exhibitions. The Museum was established in 1827 and is Australia's first museum, with unique and extensive collections of natural science and cultural artefacts. The Australian Museum is open every day of the year except December 25.

The Australian Museum undertakes an active and innovative program of research into Australia's environments and indigenous cultures. Biodiversity, geodiversity and the origins and sustainability of Australia's environments and cultures are the key focus of this research.

Australian Museum collections have scientific and cultural values and content that make them the nation's most important animal, mineral, fossil and anthropological collections.
