 Visitors get a unique chance to explore what it means to be Australian at the National Museum of Australia and join the millions who have already experienced it.
The National Museum in Canberra is the first in the country devoted to exploring the key issues, events and people that have shaped the nation.
The Museum's permanent exhibitions examine themes of land, nation and people and are as much about the future of Australia as it is about the past.
The collection has everything from Phar Lap’s heart to Aboriginal bark paintings, convict clothing and the coloured skivvies worn by the Wiggles.
There is also a wide range of public programs and special exhibitions, on subjects ranging from outlaws to space, cartooning to gold.
 State-of-the-art technology and exhibition design presents the stories of Australia in an exciting and inventive way, including the use of multi-media, live performances and hands-on activities.
The Museum aims to inspire all visitors — with a range of activities specially designed for families and children. There are regular free storytelling sessions, cubbies to explore and the chance to create a city of the future in Kspace.
Excitement and innovation extend further than the exhibits, with the colourful building establishing itself as an architectural landmark in Canberra.
