South Australian Museum

️Great place for when the weather isn’t good. I visited the free exhibitions and was really impressed. I loved the part of aboriginal history, as you can learn a lot through different media’s. Maps, videos, auto, games and of course the classic showcase. The staff were great as well, helpful, efficient and friendly. I liked the atmosphere, it was quiet and peaceful. It wasn’t full so it was nice to just take your time with the exhibition. There are plenty of car parks very close to it or you just take the public transport which is also great! In the museum there is also a cafe, which was full and very popular. If you are interested in more specific exhibitions then they offer paid admission as well. 25$ to see (currently) the history of the Vikings. I think that’s a pretty fair price. All in all great way to spend a few hours.

What a great place! And no admission fee! So much for the kids to see and explore. The cafe is a little pricey but you expect that. Beautifully kept and laid out. The kids especially loved the discovery room where they could touch and explore things.

I didn’t know what to expect. It will change your life. I’m now a fan of Paul Kelly and a follower of the East Kimberly school. Amazing place. I could go back again and again, every few days … if I didn’t live in the UK.

The Aboriginal portion of the museum is amazing. So much information. Very much enjoyed it. Overall, well curated across all the floors. You can easily visit multiple times.

Nice experience. The Vikings Hoard exhibition was great, took 90 mins at a very leisurely pace, could be done a lot faster if needed. Coffee and cake were good and decent value, with a wait on the coffee though. I would buy tickets online as the queue was long.

Had a great time exploring the South Australian Museum right in the heart of Adelaide! The exhibits are well-organized and packed with interesting info from ancient fossils and giant squid to Aboriginal culture and South Australia’s rich natural history. It’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon with the family or even solo. Free entry is a bonus, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the city!

The museum has a massive taxidermy collection which is absolutely gorgeous. Apart from artifacts from island countries surrounding the Pacific, the Antarctic gallery is my favorite where I got to appreciate Shackleton’s remarkable adventure through pictures, journals, and equipments along with scientific findings throughout the expedition. The Treasures of the Viking Age is wonderful even though a few exhibits are replica due to preservation reasons. But I love the narration of the exciting archeological discovery consisting of artifacts, videos, and LEGO sets. The unveiling of secrets through traces and analysis is fascinating and I learned so much in this journey!
