Melbourne Museum: Guided Highlights Tour

The Melbourne Museum Guided Highlights Tour is a 45-minute guided tour of one of Australia's largest museums, located in Carlton, Melbourne. The museum, which opened in 2000, holds collections spanning natural history, science, Indigenous cultures, and Victoria's social history across several permanent galleries. A live guide leads the group through key objects and exhibits, offering context on the museum's collections, the history of Victoria, and the cultural significance of items on display.

During the tour, the guide draws attention to highlights across the galleries, covering different eras, regions, and communities represented in the collection. After the 45-minute session, visitors are free to revisit any gallery at their own pace, stop at the on-site café, or browse the Museums Victoria store for gifts and locally made products. Tickets include full admission to Melbourne Museum and the services of a live guide. Temporary exhibitions require a separate ticket and are not covered. The museum offers wheelchair access throughout. For more to do in the area, see Melbourne attractions.
