South Australian Museum

The South Australian Museum has been a favourite destination for generations of families, schools, and visitors for over 167 years.

Today the Museum is one of the most visited museums in Australia, and a place where families can learn and grow together.

We welcome school groups for self-guided visits, where students and teachers can explore five floors of natural and cultural heritage drawing on our globally-significant collections.

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.

Organising your visit

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.
