Come along to the Museum during National Science Week for your chance to see the South Australian Museum in a whole new light.
The museum is opening its doors and sharing treasures, stories and hands-on experiences inspired by their collections. Tour the Science Centre (usually closed to the public); meet the scientists and researchers; learn more about the treasures on display in the museum’s galleries; try out hands-on activities which bring the science of the Museum to life!
Open day is your chance to delve deeper into the research and collections of the South Australian Museum.
