Lonely Planet review for Melbourne Museum
In the middle of Carlton Gardens, Melbourne Museum provides a grand sweep of Victoria’s natural and cultural histories. The emphasis is on education and interaction, and the main attractions include Bunjilaka, the Aboriginal Centre; a living forest gallery; and the Australia gallery, with an exhibit dedicated to that great Aussie icon Phar Lap, and another dedicated to the TV show Neighbours (filmed in Melbourne). The Children’s Gallery is a great way to keep the kids entertained awhile.
