The displays are enthralling, the whole concept. The big curly thing attracts you - it was calling to us as we drove over the bridge yesterday

I believe that the National Museum of Australia well understands that modern museums need to continue to monitor contemporary society and be responsive to its changes. I hope that it will continue to address controversial issues and stimulate debate.

I was disappointed because the Victa lawn mower was not an original model.

Made me feel very patriotic about our achievements.

The flair and imagination involved in the design of the exhibits is very impressive and my impression was that there was good information to back it up. I can't wait to come back.

Difficult to understand the architecture. Looks as though it was built by a plumber.

The cubby roofs are too low (I'm 6'3').

Four hour restriction in the car park! Had to move the van ...

It's more suited to children not me (I'm 81).
January 2003 visitor

Not enough on entertainment - you need circus history. Not enough about early colonial life.
October 2002 visitor
- The architecture of the place, with all those zany, brightly coloured buildings and structures, is an especially big hit.
Canberra Times, March 2003

The strength of the [23° South] conference lay in the ability of researchers to make comparisons both across continents and across disciplines.

I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the '23° S' symposium investigating the 'Archaeology and Environmental History of the Southern Deserts' - this was a world first of such nature.
