Melbourne Museum

The Melbourne Museum stands as one of Australia’s most important cultural institutions, offering visitors an immersive journey through the stories that shape Victoria — from prehistoric creatures and Indigenous heritage to cutting-edge science and natural history. Located in the picturesque Carlton Gardens, this world-class museum provides an enriching and interactive experience for guests of all ages.

Inside, you’ll find a diverse range of permanent and rotating exhibitions. The Dinosaur Walk is a visitor favourite, showcasing impressive fossil displays and life-sized skeletons that bring ancient history to life. The Forest Gallery, a living, breathing exhibition, replicates a Victorian rainforest ecosystem complete with native flora and fauna. For younger visitors, the Children’s Gallery is an award-winning space for play-based learning, designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers.

One of the museum’s most significant features is the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, where visitors can engage with the stories, language, and art of the First Peoples of Victoria. Through its powerful exhibitions and multimedia installations, Bunjilaka fosters understanding, connection, and reflection.

Conveniently located near the city centre, the Melbourne Museum is an ideal destination for a cultural day out. Guests staying at Pullman & Mercure Melbourne Albert Park can easily explore this landmark as part of a broader Melbourne itinerary filled with education, wonder, and inspiration.
