An amazing collection! Some of the pieces here are quite unique, such as the lizard caught in ambre that David Attenborough apparently loves. The collections are well lit and it's quite fun to try to find out the kind of stones you're looking at. Definitely recommend going!

Great place to take little kids and have a look at something older then you. Very informative and lots to look at. Is a little small in room size, but great value. Well worth the look if you have younger children, and if you have not been to the other bigger museums in Australia.
