National Museum of Australia

Visit the National Museum of Australia and get hands-on with the history and cultures of Australia.

Onsite

Look, listen, touch, and wonder about Australia and its history through a series of education programs and Museum experiences.

Qualified educators lead students through Australian Curriculum aligned, inquiry-driven programs to facilitate student understanding and questioning of Australia’s past, present and future.

In 2023 we are offering 2 additional programs linked to our new immersive gallery Great Southern Land. Explore the gallery interactives to learn about the diversity and power of our ancient continent. Discover your own connection to Deep Time and its relevance for Australia’s future.

Digital excursions

Can’t get to the Museum? We can Zoom straight into your classroom!

From K – 2’s exploration of the past and its relevance today, through to secondary students’ exploration of rights and freedoms, there is a digital program for all stages.

Onsite and digital programs must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance at bookcanberraexcursions.com.au.
