Melbourne Museum

Melbourne's heritage trail is often referred to as the 'Golden Mile' and for all intents and purposes it highlights the heritage of Melbourne, Australia, from the 1800s gold rush.

But right on the 'golden' heritage train that runs through the Melbourne map, a treasure of modern Australia, the Melbourne Museum, sits in Carlton Gardens.

The museum has a slogan, 'Come and see the real thing', representing the energy that goes into constantly updating the events, exhibitions and performances.

The museum receives feature spots on the calendar for events in Melbourne and, along with the other Melbourne museums, typically is on the 'must-see' Melbourne attractions list for many travellers booking accommodation in Melbourne.

Melbourne Museum has long had a spot in hearts throughout Australia for its Phar Lap exhibition, but, with so many interesting things to look at, the great racehorse may as well be an ant in this huge stable of heritage and culture.

From nature to technology, the oceans to the forests and art to archeology, you'll find your visit makes you feel like a better person.

It is a long time since this museum realised it was not just an attachment to the Melbourne university or academic communities but should reach out to the people.
Now, it is so good in the mission that, just like the Telstra dome or MCG in sport, the museum is a drawcard that keeps bringing in the crowds.

The cultural cheering in Melbourne, Victoria, happens in your heart at its premier museum.

The city may be infamous for the Melbourne weather but it's famous for its museums.
