AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM REOPENS THIS MONTH

After months of extensive renovations, the Australian Museum will reopen to the public on Saturday 28 November.

The $57.5 million building transformation is regarded as the most extensive renovation to the museum, with 3,000 square meters of back-of-house areas transformed into new public space.

To celebrate the reopening, the NSW Government has announced that general admission to the museum will be free.

After a year of renovation, we’re thrilled to announce that on 28 November we will welcome visitors, members, volunteers and friends back to a transformed and free Australian Museum.

The $57.5 million redevelopment of our nearly 200-year-old museum known as Project Discover has delivered tremendous outcomes that will be enjoyed by guests for generations to come: redesigned gathering spaces, expanded galleries, more of our collection on display, a new shop, a second café, a renovated Members Lounge and updated amenities. General admission will be free!

To celebrate our reopening, general admission to the Australian Museum will be free for adults and children for a limited time.

Opening hours will be 10am - 5pm daily. The AM will be open every day, except Christmas Day.

General admission includes entry to all permanent exhibitions as well as Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year.

General admission is not timed and visitor calculations have been made for each area of the Australian Museum, meeting the 4 sqm regulations. COVID-19 marshals will ensure limits are not exceeded in gallery and exhibition spaces.

Entry to our major exhibition Tyrannosaurs - Meet the Family requires a paid timed-entry ticket, and capacity is limited.

COVID-19 safety
While transforming a museum in the middle of a pandemic is not something we envisaged, we’ve been working non-stop to prepare our premises, facilities and staff to ensure the greatest level of safety for everyone who visits the Australian Museum. From sign-in to signage to sanitising, visitors will find their visit to the Australian Museum is safe and hassle-free.
