We went here to see the Gondwanaland exhibit which was highly recommended to us. It certainly lived up to the recommendation. A huge, stunning aviary and garden showcasing Australian flora and fauna. We didn't fully explore the rest, but the parts we walked through had an impressive display of Aboriginal art.

I thought the museum’s spectacular display of evolution was stunning and the Triceratops exhibition out of this world. The amazingly atmospheric lighting and sound effects with video support made it outstanding. The Aboriginal and rainforest sections were also very well presented - with just enough detail to keep one interested.

The Melbourne Museum has been rearranged to improve access for visitors. One half is devoted to social history, including Melbourne. The display of Phar Lar, the legendary racehorse, is particularly interesting. The other half is dedicated to scientific specimens, including dinosaurs. The Melbourne Museum is a favorite day out for families.

I loved my trip to Melbourne Museum! It has some really well put together and varied exhibits. I absolutely loved the dinosaur and fossil section of the museum, it’s definitely one of the best I’ve seen (up there with New York’s National History Museum) and the Melbourne History section is so beautifully done. Definitely a must see in Melbourne!

In the past few weeks I've been to the Melbourne Museum twice - once with my grandchildren to see the Titanic relics exhibition and once alone to see the Victorian Government jewellery from the 1860s gold rushes. The Titanic exhibition, an international exhibition, was riveting to all three of us - the visionary ship building project as well as the realistic shipboard setting and astonishing and poignant objects recently retrieved from the ocean floor, as well as the high tech mission to collect clothing, china, spectacles etc without breaking them. Then, on a solo visit, I happened upon a marvelous recreation of the history of Melbourne including Coles Book Arcade and displays of the households and technologies of different eras. A remarkable collection, superbly displayed and families enjoying it. All credit to the Museum.

My wife and I visited this Museum recently, after watching a movie at IMAX Melbourne, which is located next to this Museum. We have been here a few times before and enjoyed our latest visit. I have read that this is the largest Museum in the Southern Hemisphere. The incorporation of a rainforest inside this Museum makes it more interesting.

The Melbourne museum is well worth the entrance price of $ 15 , senior &1 0 & Veterans free. They have a free tour which is worth getting on plenty to see from the blue whale, dinosaur & fossil & many more displays. One of my favorites was the exhibition on Phar lap a wonderful Australia race horse, to see it all I would think you should allow 4 to 5 hours & I still no show you would see the lot

Melbourne Museum appeals to young families. The Museum has a wide variety of displays. Social exhibits are interesting, they take you back to times gone by in Melbourne. Scientific exhibits are enthralling; youngsters are particularly fascinated by enormous dinosaur skeletons. Phar Lap is the exhibit of the thoroughbred racehorse who won the Melbourne Cup; Phar Lap is said to be the most outstanding champion horse in the history of Australia. The media coverage of Phar Lap is very interesting.

The Titanic exhibition was amazing. Great setup, like boarding the ship with a boarding pass with the name of the original passenger. Felt that we were part of the journey because we could see how the salon, bedroom, and famous stairs replica looked in the original ship. Everything was so real and sad at the same time. There were so many historical facts and documents. We spent almost two hours walking around.

This has been my 3rd visit to the Melbourne Museum. We attended the Titanic Artefacts Exhibition, which was fantastic. The only grievance I had was that it was quite busy, potentially overbooked, which made reading the information, viewing exhibits, and getting photos a little difficult. They had done a terrific job of re-creating state rooms, corridors, and the water tight bulk heads, which was eerie to experience. We also got coffees from inside the main part of the museum, which, as expected, were overpriced and not very good. Which is a bit of a shame considering how renowned Melbourne is for its coffee and food. The toilets were also in a disgraceful state, and no paper was available.
