Darlinghurst

Australia

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Darlinghurst, the Australian Museum stands as a beacon of culture and history. Founded in 1827, it is not only the oldest museum in Australia but also a treasure trove of zoological and anthropological collections. Visitors are greeted by an impressive facade that hints at the wonders within, inviting them to explore the rich tapestry of Australia's natural and cultural heritage.

The museum features a delightful café that serves an array of snacks and beverages, perfect for a mid-visit recharge. Indulge in their signature flat white, crafted from locally sourced beans, or treat yourself to a slice of their decadent lemon tart, bursting with zesty flavor. The café's inviting atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to relax and reflect on the exhibits you’ve just explored.

One of the museum's standout features is its extensive dinosaur exhibit, which captivates both young and old alike. Here, you can marvel at life-sized replicas and fossils that transport you back to the age of these magnificent creatures. Another must-see is the Indigenous Australian collection, showcasing artifacts and stories that highlight the rich cultural heritage of the continent.

Conveniently located at 1 William St, Darlinghurst, the Australian Museum is easily accessible via public transport, making it a perfect stop during your Sydney adventure. Nearby attractions include the stunning Hyde Park, the bustling Sydney CBD, and the iconic Sydney Opera House, all within a short distance.

The permanent collection is free to view, while special exhibitions may require a ticket.

Absolutely! The museum features a dedicated children's area with engaging activities.

The museum is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Whether you are a history buff, a family looking for a fun day out, or simply curious about Australia’s diverse heritage, the Australian Museum has something for everyone. Come and immerse yourself in the stories of our planet and its inhabitants. We can’t wait to welcome you!

A must-visit in Sydney! I absolutely LOVED it. Absolutely incredible! This museum is free, modern, and simply breathtaking. The children's area is unbelievably well-designed, making it a fantastic experience for families. Everything is beautifully curated, ethical, and emotionally moving—a perfect blend of history, innovation, and storytelling.

I was genuinely blown away by how well-executed and engaging it is. And the fact that such an amazing place is completely free makes it even more impressive.

Great museum where most of the displays are free to view. Other than the main attraction this museum is free to the public. It has both stairs and elevators inside, making it easy for visitors to get around. It also provides a café area for snacks and drinks with plenty of seating. The gift shop has an array of items for all price points.
If you want to visit the current main attraction I’d advise booking ahead to make sure you can get in.
Overall a lovely museum and with a few hours to visit.

Easy to get to especially via public transport.
Very clean and spacious, easy to get around the exhibitions, great access for disabled and wheelchairs.
Exhibitions themselves are absolutely amazing, such beautiful artefacts form so many different places.
The touring Exhibitions are some of the best I've seen.
Well worth the visit

Incredible! Just go. The museum's permanent collection is free. Special exhibitions require a ticket and entry fee. The museum is large and one could spend hours here. There is a great kids area with activities and reading nook. The museum has a large sitting area and cafe in addition to a gift shop.
