Melbourne Museum

The Melbourne Museum provides a chance to learn about Victoria's genuine history. The museum covers the state's natural environment, cultural history, local communities, and urban development. Drivers heading to Melbourne Museum should take Nicholson Street and keep an eye out for the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens since the Museum is located inside their grounds. For an hourly price, daily subterranean parking is provided.

The museum dates back to 1854, when the Government of Victoria, William Blandowski, and others established the "Museum of Natural and Economic Geology". The Museums were incorporated with the Public Library and the National Gallery of Victoria under the Library, Museums, and National Gallery Act 1869; however, when the Public Library, National Gallery and Museums Act came into effect in 1944, this administrative connection was severed, and they became four separate institutions once more.

The Australian Museums Act established Museums Victoria in its current form (1983). Objects linked to Indigenous Australian and Pacific Islander cultures, geology, historical studies, paleontology, technology and society, and zoology are among the roughly 17 million items held by Museums Victoria's State Collections. Museums Victoria also has a library with some of Australia's most valuable and rare scientific books and serials from the 18th and 19th centuries.
