Best places: Museums in Melbourne, Australia

Noteworthy institution celebrating film, television and gaming with exhibits, screenings and events.

Modern building of an institution founded in 1854 containing dinosaur and regional history exhibits.

👍👍 A great place to spend a few hours with young children. You do need to schedule your time in the Children's gallery, as you only get ~40mins in there due to Covid-19 restrictions, but there is still plenty to keep your little ones engaged. Make sure to check out the Arboretum and seek out the Satin...

Museum featuring artifacts & interactive displays tracing the history of Australian sport.

Now a museum with self & guided tours, this storied tri-level jail once housed notorious inmates.

A 19th-century building with a museum showcasing the history of Melbourne & Victoria.

👍👍 Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! I have attached over 30 pictures for reference. The parking is at the back: $30 until 4pm, and only $10 after 4pm :) The exterior is very well maintained. The wedding that I shot there had a little over 100 guests, and they all fit under cover very happily. We...

👍👍 Absolutely phenomenal. The love and effort that has been put into showcasing the wonder of Australian opals shines out as you move from showcase to showcase.

👍👍 It is a very beautiful and spectacular place, I suggest you visit this place, it has something to say. It also shows how much respect and value they have for soldiers and people, this amount of respect really surprised me, I can dare to say that it was one of the most special places I had seen and I...

😠 Just visited the ACMI theatre whilst on a year 12 exam revision lecture, I made the poor mistake of purchasing an (overpriced) toasted sandwich, I was only given a 10 minute break to eat my food for the entirety of the day. After trying to renter the theatre I was told no hot food was allowed so I s...

Museum showcasing the history of the country's indigenous people through art & interactive exhibits.

👍👍 It was so good to visit the Mary MacKillop Heritage Centre to see and hear about Marys life and all the good work she did.

Late 19th-century tower used to make lead shot, now a museum enclosed in a shopping mall atrium.

😐 It's a very small but interesting museum of Australia's banking heritage, particularly the history of ANZ, beginning from the days when Indigenous Australians traded with European settlers. It has a collection of banknotes and coins from the 1800s, moneyboxes, banking scales, and ANZ typewriters an...

👍👍 Really lovely museum and staff.
