I'm not a huge lover of stuffy and boring museums but the this place is very modern. I live 2 hours away from Melbourne and i have been to the museum on numerous occasions. Well worth a visit. But be warned the food is very expensive so maybe bring your own cut lunch and a drink to save some money.

A interesting museum to spend a few hours or half a day. Twice now we have come to see special quality exhibitions and have not been disappointed. The permanent galleries are themed on a variety of topics. Visiting children obviously love the Dinosaur gallery. The galleries give a glimpse of Australian life through the Old Melbourne Gallery. Other galleries feature... More

A very well laid out set of exhibitions that are extremely interesting, informative and promote social, cultural and environmental awareness. Well worth a good half day, if not longer.

A lovely exhibition of treasure saved from the Taliban by a group of forward-thinking people from the Kabul Museum. Beautiful examples of craft work dating back to almost 2000 yeard BC. Beautifully presented, well lit.

Attended an evening cocktail arty and dinner here recently. Excellent approach by the caterers. We were confined to the ground floor, but being able to wander off around the natural science exhibits with a wine and nibbles made for a different event. You can't beat a glass of bubbly to calm the nerves in the insect room.

Actually brilliant, we didn't even have enough time to soak up everything there, and we spent nearly 5 hours there! DEFINITELY worth your time and money! Hands down my favourite place in Melbourne

Exhibition is stunning, and reveals the extraordinary history of the country. Unmissable. The rest of the museum seemed about average to me. Sme of the galleries were closed.

Here for a work function having dinner the place looks fantastic and I would have liked more time to explore but I will definitely be back after seeing the small selection. An impressive building nonetheless.

Insects ...some huge and Pharlap. Awesome! Parking underneath very handing and food onsite. You will be there for hours. Great!
