Enjoyed this museum to the full with the help of a very helpful, friendly and informed museum guide. Ate at the restaurant in the museum in the evening which provided excellent value for money with good service. Metered parking is nearby. More

A renovated Victorian was the original home, then it grew and grew, leading to a lovely space near the state capital building. Great gift shop, nice live events like Buddhist monks creating mandalas. More
