This museum has many interesting exhibits on Darwin's natural and human history. I enjoyed the megafauna and the Cyclone Tracy exhibits. The highlight for me had to be the Aboriginal art. Two of the galleries featured winners of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards. One gallery focused on this year's winners while another featured past winners. I was impressed by the diversity and quality of the artworks. You can spend several hours here.

Wow, I did not expect such a great museum. Aboriginal artwork was wonderful. Huge famous stuffed crocodile and all kinds of other animals. History of cyclone Tracy. You could easily spend a couple hours here on a rainy day. Nice to cool off on a hot, humid day. Great for kids or adults. Free! Plus a nice gift shop. Highly recommended.

Some of the best animal displays I have ever seen in Australia. Great place to visit with a good variety of animals, artworks and Cyclone Tracy information. Free to visit and allow 1-2 hrs to complete.

This is a must see when you’re in Darwin. Brilliant exhibits and lots of local and indigenous history. Well worth stopping in to see. Great bookshop as well and a lovely cafe attached. Awesome.

MAGNT was recommended to us by someone in Sydney and we are so happy we made a visit to see it. It was a good introduction to the history, flora, fauna and culture of the Northern Territories. The display on the Cyclone Tracy (the cyclone that hit Darwin on Christmas Day in 1974) was well done. The gift shop had some quality souvenirs and the cafe was well worth a visit for a refreshing cold drink. Definitely a place to go on a hot, humid Darwin day.

The displays well presented and informative. Very clean, easy to move through to each area. Information was very interesting and not too long. The area about cyclone Tracy bought back memories of watching this as a family in NSW just wishing we could help. The gift shop was lovely with a mix of different cultures. Our group of 8 absolutely loved it and we are a very diverse group and found something that intrigued each of us

Visited from hop on bus. Opens at 10 am. Lots to see. Cyclone Tracy exhibit very evocative. Lot of interesting exhibits. Great cafe as well with wonderful views and food. Very helpful staff in museum showed us where to store rucksacks.

Really good place to visit for an overview of all things relating to birds, animals and insects of NT. Find out about the bombing of Darwin, Cyclone Tracy and general life over the history and development of Darwin. Very good section on indigenous life and art. Good gift shop and cafe also. Best of all, it has free entry.

We didn't really have enough time here, they close at 4:00PM, but it was worth the time we did spend there. High quality art pieces and an excellent display concerning Cyclone Tracy and Sweetheart, a very famous crocodile whose remains are on display here. We will definitely come back for a longer visit next time. Beautiful grounds and location very close to the sea.

Our first day in Darwin we got the Hop-on-Bus and got off at the stop of this amazing museum a place you must not miss ! The Aboriginal Art was beautiful and other exhibits were educational and stunning not forgetting the insight of the lives of the Northern Territory people in the past. I could go on and on, but definitely worth a visit and all free.
