Nights at the Museum

Why not visit the Australian Museum after hours?

Our doors are open late on Thursday nights. Delve into our incredible permanent collections. Learn about some of the Australian innovations offering positive solutions to climate change in our new display Spark. Uncover the untold histories behind this nation’s foundation story in Unsettled.

There will be live music and a pop-up bar for those who want to relax and unwind. Plus Prehistoric Playground will be open for budding palaeontologists big and small. For your retail fix, wander through our Museum Shop and be inspired by the beautiful range.

There is so much to discover after dark at the Australian Museum.
