Melbourne Museums

These museums are not the normal big city types with things you'll find in any major city in the world.......

.......They all have reference to Australia or Melbourne..........

.......giving an insight into how things have developed or happened in this part of the world.

Why not visit these museums instead of the major ones?.....

.....learn about Melbourne and Australia.....

...... and have the pleasure of saving money too!

I've found 7 great museums to go to........

.........Check these out before you go giving your money away at the Melbourne Museum like everyone else does!!..........

........You'll find a wonderful military plane museum which even has free flying displays to watch........

........an art museum owned by the University of Melbourne..........

..........a police museum about Melbourne and Victoria incidents including the Westgate Bridge collapse, the car bomb which went off outside a CBD police station - (I recently had old bomb marks in nearby building walls pointed out to me on a photography course I did - this wasn't free though!) - and you'll be able to test how heavy the Ned Kelly gang's armour was - very heavy!!..........

...........see the original Royal Mint building where you'll find things about Greek immigrants, and more.........
