Spending $72.50 for my family of 3 to go through the dinosaur hologram exhibition was a mind blowing waste of cash. It was a strange and unsophisticated experience. We were rounded up into groups and told to start then stop walking in line with a light that guided us through a cobbled together short maze that we repeatedly went through with the images changing each time. After the fourth time were told it was over and I felt instantly relieved. How anyone thought it was an exhibition fit for public consumption is ridiculous. Gross disappointment. The rest of the museum is mediocre at best.

On a week stop-over in Sydney, I was curious to see this Museum and was not dissapointed. It was certainly the best thing I did all week. I learnt a lot of interesting things in the two hours I spent here... As luck would have it (because I scuba dive often), there was a special shark exhibition showcasing Australian icon Valerie Taylor, pioneer diver and conservationist. I recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the city hustle and bustle in an oasis of quiet reflection.

Great visit, in only 90 minutes we took the free tour with a guide, and we were able to take advantage of the best things to be discovered inside the museum. History, art, nature...everything is there. You learn a lot about the country and about its people. One suggestion: an audio guide would really be a plus for the visitors!

I visited the Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition on the weekend and it was absolutely spectacular. The exhibits were truly awe inspiring and incredible (they are over 2,000 years old!) and the way the whole exhibition was presented was so thoughtful and really created a special atmosphere. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these antiquities and I'm thrilled we were able to see this in Sydney; it was very special. The virtual reality experience was entertaining and lots of fun and would highly recommend opting in to do this. Staff were helpful and friendly. We also had a nice casual lunch and coffee in the Billabong cafe, which was a very pleasant place to regroup after the exhibition.

The Ramses II Expo at the Australian Museum is brilliantly curated!!. The mixture of actual ancient artifacts from the Egyptian civilization and modern audio visual devices tell a fascinating story. The way the exhibition has been designed grabs you from the opening short video and does not let you go until the end.

This is one of the best museums we've visited. Like every other museum, it has some experiences that you can pay to visit, however, the free sections are amazing too! Loved how much you can see and learn, and the people who work there, very friendly and keen to help and share their knowledge with you.

We visited the museum for the exhibition of Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs. The numerous priceless exhibits were very well displayed and explained in detail. The other sections of the museum displaying various other interesting exhibits of Australian and other world Artifacts were also very interesting and informative.

It was an incredible exhibition but the museum absolutely booked too many people into each time slot. It was so packed, it made it very hard to see and read everything and really enjoy it. I felt particularly bad for the few people in our group in wheelchairs. I would highly recommend going after the school holidays (you have until May!)… too expensive to go for a second time - I learned my lesson!

Ramses exhibition was interesting but so crowded. It was quite unpleasant to be in such a crush, long queues and it was hot. Too many tickets sold for the 10.30am viewing. It felt like profit was put above the safety and comfort of visitors. On a positive note, the staff were very kind to.me, as I have a foot injury. Very inclusive and empathetic. A special thank you to Hannah who took me to the front if the line due to my disability. Very kind!!

The Ramses exhibit itself is very well done, but the crowds make the experience not as good as it could be. I agree with other reviewers, they sold too many tickets per time slot. Skipped alot of displays because of the long queues. If you get the audio guide, you will be there a while stuck in mob of people. TIP: Make sure you "cloak" (coat-check) any backpacks downstairs before you go, they wont let you into the exhibit with them. However, we really enjoyed the rest of the museum, and because of that I give it a 4 out of 5.
