About the Australian Museum
The Australian Museum, located in Sydney, is Australia’s first museum. It was established in 1827 to collect and display natural history specimens and has since grown into a major institution for science, culture and education. Over time, the museum has expanded its collections and exhibitions to help visitors learn about the natural world, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and Australia’s history. Today, the Australian Museum continues to support public learning through research, exhibitions and community engagement, making it an important place for students to explore knowledge, culture and connections between people, place and environment.

We will watch this video together to learn about Sea Country and what we will explore at the museum. This display may be a bit different from what we are going to visit, as this video was filmed a few months ago.
