Melbourne Museum
Melbourne, Australia
Opened in 2000, Melbourne Museum is a striking modernist landmark known for its walk-through rainforest and the immersive Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre. You'll find Phar Lap, Australia's favourite racehorse, perfectly preserved here. Ideal for anyone curious about natural history or Indigenous culture, it's worth a visit after exploring the iconic Royal Exhibition Building next door.
