As its name suggests, the Australian Museum showcases the wonders and marvels of the Australian continent. We were fortunate to catch a special mammoth exhibition during our visit. Though the admission was pricey, the opportunity to touch actual elephant bones was absolutely incredible!

The museum's collections are truly breathtaking, particularly the whale skeleton and dinosaur fossils, along with an entire hall filled with diverse minerals and gemstones. The museum building itself is an architectural masterpiece, reminiscent of the Queen Victoria Building, exemplifying the grandeur of the Victorian era.
