South Australian Museum

The South Australian Museum has been committed to making Australia’s natural and cultural heritage accessible, engaging and fun for over 150 years. It is a place where families can learn and grow together. Today the Museum is one of the most visited museums in Australia and holds collections of national and international significance. It is a leader in remote and regional community engagement, and in Australian Aboriginal heritage and scientific research.

We welcome school groups for self-guided visits, where students and teachers can ignite their worlds with wonder and curiosity.

School bookings

We carefully manage the bookings to prevent overcrowding and ensure groups have the best opportunity for successful learning during their visit. Morning time slots can be especially busy so please book at least two weeks in advance if possible, to ensure the best chance of securing your preferred time.

We have a range of Australian Curriculum-aligned resources to support teaching and learning before, during or after a visit. Some are designed for students to use for recording their observations and ideas onsite, while others including digital resources can be used in the classroom. We also have information to support teachers with planning and professional learning.
