    Worth a visit
    It was free which was a great start. A huge section was devoted to indigenous history and culture and it was very insightful. The room with the live beehive was quite cool. The giant squid feature was novel. Not much by way of history.

    Educational
    The museum is set out to be accessible and the displays all look as though they have been carefully curated with the visitor in mind. Lots of old skeletons and stuffed animals. Interesting displays on aboriginal history, pacific countries eg: Papua New Guinea, really old fossils and rocks. Friendly relaxed cafe. Nice shop.

    Very good
    Was surprised by the size of the place. It just keeps going. Well laid out with plenty of space and signage to navigate the rooms. A huge collection of various items and artifices with surprising age of some of the collection! We did get confused a few times though with the 2 staircases and not knowing if we should use them or not. I would reduce this down to one primary route or make it clearer how to continue. Worth a visit.

    Interesting museum
    I recommend a visit to the South Australia Museum. It has five floors of exhibits, with two floors devoted to Australian Aboriginal Cultures. That is the most interesting section, though there are other exhibits on Natural History and South Pacific Cultures. One highlight of the Aboriginal cultures exhibit is the Yuendumu School doors, painted in 1983 to explain the local Tjukurrpa (dreaming). It was the first time the Warlpiri elders decided to explain their Tjukurrpa to the world beyond their desert home.

    Wide Ranging Collection for the Curious
    We spent a couple of hours in this wide ranging museum. The breadth of art and antiquities is instructive, as it covers such a long period of time. Of particular note is the beautiful collection of Aboriginal art in the special galleries. These we lovely, and the accompanying narratives especially interesting.

    So much to see and learn!
    We enjoyed our visit in the SA Musuem. The building is situated within a beautiful historial precinct in the north side of Adelaide. The outside cafe and sitting areas are beautiful and pleasantly inviting on a good weather day. There are plenty of varied exhibits for all intersts and ages. We particularly enjoyed the Antarctic display for Douglas Mawson and the Gem, Opals and Meteorites on display. The younger visitors certainly seem to enjoy the animal hall on the first level and the Egyption room! The giant squid is also something unique, which is displayed over 3 levels! We were entertained and happy with our visit!

    The squid is the star
    This museum is situated next door to the Art Gallery of South Australia and can be visited sequentially with it. As the State has been in existence for less than two hundred years its collection has its limitations. Nevertheless, there is an abundance of exhibits about the natural history of the area together with a large section based on local earlier aboriginal settlements. The star exhibit is a giant squid which can be viewed from galleries on separate floors. Highly recommended.

    Interesting and well curated
    Beautiful museum housed in a beautiful building in a historic area of Adelaide. A lot to see within - well curated with a real variety of exhibits. As others have noted displays can be rather dark and explanations difficult to read but this didn’t really spoil our enjoyment. A nice little shop too! Recommended for everyone.
