"Australia’s first public museum, founded in 1827, celebrates the astonishing flora, fauna, and cultures of Australia and the Pacific. The mammoth building exhibits a smorgasbord of natural history and ethnography in a prime corner near Hyde Park. The permanent collection houses more than 21 million cultural and scientific objects. Kids will love the Wild Planet exhibit, which includes stuffed kangaroos and koalas, or check out the dinosaurs or unusual wildlife of Surviving Australia. If time is flying, just tackle 200 Treasures of the Australian Museum, a landmark display in the Westpac Long Gallery, or learn more about Aboriginal heritage in the First Nations galleries." - Sophie Davies
