Australian Museum (Sydney)

Opened in 1827 by Earl Bathurst, it is famous for its collection on natural history and diversity across the whole world. Originally it was established as the Colonial Museum or Sydney Museum and was renamed to Australian Museum in 1836.

As Australia is famous for its flora and fauna, one of the attractions is its native animal Koala. Along with this Koala, different species of spider, frogs, colorful insects, birds and mammals are some treasures that thrive here. But the diversity of sea animals is much more fascinating than the terrestrial animals. Different fishes, sea tulips, sea squirts, jellyfish, plankton, crustaceans, etc. are the sea animals preserved by Australian Museum Sydney. The unique Australian bats and wild parrots are also one of the attractions of this museum.

The museum also conducts exhibitions and events showcasing the diversity of the animals by way of videos, lectures and other shows. They also have a souvenir store where one can find different articles related to animals at this museum. This is a must visit place whenever one is visiting Australia.

Avina's 9 days trip to Sydney

5 star We recently returned from an incredible trip to Australia, all thanks to the amazing team at Wanderbird Holidays! From start to finish, the planning was seamless, with every detail thoughtfully handled by Raunak and the team. We enjoyed every moment, and it was so reassuring to have their consistent support and guidance along the way. The personalised recommendations for each city by Raunak, on top of the customised itinerary made by Meenakshi, made our experience even more amazing, and knowing they were just a call away during our travels gave us complete peace of mind. This was hands-down one of our best-planned vacations, and we can’t wait to book more adventures with Wanderbird Holidays. We’ve already recommended them to our family, and we’re confident they’ll love the experience just as much as we did!
