Explore the history and cultures of Australia's land, nation and people
| |
|
At the National Museum of Australia, every object tells a story; and our dynamic, curriculum-linked programs bring these stories to life.
Motivate your students through a program facilitated by one of our inspiring and dedicated education officers.
|
| We present programs on four themes – see below for an overview. For details of each program, follow the links to each theme. |
