This is a wide-ranging and eclectic collection of art, history, culture, natural history and maritime exhibits. It includes an extensive collection of Aboriginal Art. It's also free to visit. I particularly enjoyed the natural history exhibit and the collection of boats from SE Asia. Certainly worth visiting if you are in Darwin.

This museum is not easy to get to unless you have a car so we went by taxi on our last morning in Darwin. Excellent Cyclone Tracy exhibit. The boats exhibit was worth seeing as well

Nice museum in a great spot on the beach. Public transport right to the door. The Cyclone Tracey display is very good. The cafe has well priced food and nice coffee.

Spent an interesting couple of hours looking round the art, nature and history of the local area, a very interesting exhibition on fishing was a nice surprise, with the bonus of a great cafe and a lovely view. Definitely worth a visit.

Back again after 15+ years, and I'm still astonished that a community the size of Darwin provides a museum and art gallery of this quality. Location perfect, collection WOW, curation and interpretation superb. The deep connection and respect for Aboriginal culture is moving and uplifting. It says a lot that the elders are right now trusting the museum with artefacts...
