South Australian Museum

“I'm not a real museum buff - more of an Art gallery person. However, my first visit here did impress. I love the different options on offer - there is really something for everyone to be discovered on one of the five floors. General admission is free but a fee for some of the temporary exhibitions may be required. As was the case and the reason for my visit when I attended the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year with a group from The Nature Foundation. This is an annual competition and photographers from all over the world are invited to submit entries from the Australia, NZ, Antarctica and New Guinea region. The works were well displayed and the background music was most appropriate. The quality of works in this exhibition was amazing 👏. There was no time to visit other sections of the museum so I'll be back to do that and perhaps visit the cafe. The venue and toilets are kept well clean. This SA museum has been committed to making Australia's natural and cultural heritage accessible, engaging and fun for over 150 years.”

“The Adelaide Museum is a fascinating place to explore history, culture, and science all in one visit. The exhibitions are well designed, informative, and suitable for all ages. I especially enjoyed the natural history and Indigenous collections, which are both educational and thoughtfully presented. The museum is spacious, easy to navigate, and free to enter, making it perfect for families, tourists, or a relaxed day out. Friendly staff and interactive displays add to the experience. Located in the heart of the city, it’s easy to combine with other attractions nearby. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Adelaide.”

“Brilliant museum! And a must see if visiting Adelaide! Great cafe and exhibitions all about South Australia and Adelaide. Have been here twice now and both times have been great. A free museum, what more could one want! Thank you for supporting public education and curiosity!!”

“Great museum with the perfect amount of exhibits (not too much and not too little). We visited with around 2 hours left before closing and it took us around 1.5 hours to see everything (started to rush towards the end). For many of the exhibits the information is accessed via an iPad with corresponding numbers and information. This has helped keeped the exhibits visually interesting. Great exhibit on Australian Aboriginal history, one of the most extensive I've seen. Really well done. Some tactile parts in each exhibit for kids to engage with. And entry is free!”
