Get to know Australia from here :)

Published on Jul, 2024

A great place to have an overview of Australia on aboriginal stories, history, landscapes, weather, nature creatures etc.

The Egyptian Display is unmissable

Published on Mar, 2024

We have been here before. This time we dropped in to have a look at the Egyptian display, on loan from a Dutch Museum. I had gleaned some knowledge from books, documentaries and movies. And I always wanted to visit Egypt. This was the next best thing. Thoroughly recommended. We didn't take a tour, and we didn't need to book. It may get busy in holidays.

An excellent tour.

Published on Sep, 2023

An informative tour and an excellent museum. I think that I learnt more on the tour of the galleries we visited than I would have wandering alone. I would have happily spent longer listening to our guide and getting extra insight into the different sections.

Amazing and honoured experience

Published on May, 2023

The whole experience was an honour, we did the whole tour, gained a lot more insight into the wars that our men and women endured. Stayed for the most moving part, which was the last post. This will stay with me forever.
