Museums Victoria

Under the wide umbrella of Museums Victoria sit Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks, the Immigration Museum, IMAX Melbourne and the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building. The displays and exhibits across its venues provide only a hint of its vast collection of over 17 million items, including fossils, specimens, minerals, cultural artefacts, rare books and historical items.

Museums Victoria has two spaces dedicated to babies to five-year-olds and their families: the Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery which opened at Melbourne Museum in December 2016 and Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together, opening at Scienceworks in December 2017. Both exhibitions have been produced after extensive consultation and creative development and are stunning fusions of early childhood learning and design.
