Another beautiful building - puts our 'architecture' in Perth to shame. Carefully put together and so lovely to see lots of families using the facility (it was school holidays) and lots of kids activities happening.

We have joined many guided tours and if the tour is too slow, we slip away. The one hour tour at this museum turned into two hours well spent.

Was a little disappointed in the Adelaide Museum.
Very standard fare, very dark, very smelly, bit claustrophobic.
Luckily no charge so worth a visit but don't get too excited and bring a torch. Also should mention that it is swarming with staff, mostly security and mostly giving you the hairy eyeball as though you are going to make off with...

This is has a great collection of minerals from all over South Australia and so much diversity. The Aboriginal section was great as well. Good cafe and small shop.
