MELBOURNE MUSEUM
Located next to the magnificent Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens, this large museum has something for everyone. You could easily spend a few days exploring its natural and cultural history displays, with life-sized dinosaur skeletons and a centre dedicated to Victoria’s Indigenous people. For young kids, a highlight is the Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery, a hands-on learning space where they can dig for fossils and dance at the ‘camouflage disco’. museumsvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum 36
