National Museum of Australia

The National Museum of Australia is the largest museum in the country and is home to many significant Australian artifacts. It was established by Parliament on December 18, 1980, as a national institution for the enrichment of Australia’s understanding of its people, their place in the world and their history. The mission statement reads: "to collect, preserve and present items from Australia's social and natural history."

The National Museum of Australia is the country's national museum. It was established in 1980 by Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser to commemorate Australian history, Indigenous culture and natural heritage. The National Museum of Australia features an extensive collection that explores the history of Australia. The museum showcases a vast array of art and artifacts from Aboriginal artwork to fabrics worn by Australians in their day-to-day lives.

The museum is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canberra, so visitors are encouraged to plan some time for exploring outside the building before or after your visit with teams of knowledgeable volunteers on hand every day to provide insights and guidance.

The museum is situated in the Australian Capital Territory, on Acton Peninsula next to Lake Burley Griffin and close by to Canberra's city centre. Originally called Museum of Australia from 1988-2010 before being changed to National Museum of Australia, it has a collection that encompasses both natural history and cultural material spanning human activity over some 200 000 years.

It includes more than 360 exhibits about Indigenous culture ranging across two floors with interactive digital displays where visitors can explore different aspects of Aboriginal life including hunting for food as well as traditional story telling through dance performances set up like theatre productions; also there are many exhibitions about past conflicts between Europeans and Aboriginals such as battles at Parramatta.

The National Museum of Australia is a treasure trove for those who love art, history or science. It's the only museum to be established by an Act of Parliament in this country and holds collections that tell Australian stories from Aboriginal culture to modern multicultural society.

Costs apply for some special exhibitions and events. A $5 donation on arrival enables them to continue delivering world-class exhibitions and programs.
