“Melbourne Museum holds over 17 million items, including objects relating to Indigenous Australian and Pacific Islander cultures. The Museum is constructed in a unique layout, referencing Melbourne's iconic Hoddle Grid, which allows the importance of each component of the Museum's historical, cultural and social significance to be read in a loosely equal hierarchy and individuality. The Museum is an outstanding response to Melbourne's urban condition and affords a place for history, education, culture and society to engage with each visitor in a modern setting. Melbourne Museum holds some of Australia's rarest and finest examples of 18th and 19th-century scientific monographs and serials. The world-famous IMAX Theatre screen, which is also one of the parts of this Museum, shows movies and documentary films in the 3-D format. Melbourne Museum is a pleasant place to visit and enjoy with your family, with free admission for Museum Member Children (up to 16 years) and Museum Member Concessions.”
