I’m soy thankful we stumbled in here, because this cold is incredibly impressive! It was started in 1881, and 99% of the collection is still in tact and on display! If you are strolling around the botanical gardens, you need to stop here if you enjoy nature and plants at all. The paper mache mushroom and fruit collection is mind blowingly realistic.

This is a must visit place for anyone. Such a knowledgeable place with great items to see. There are collectibles from foreign countries too. Specially one whole cabinet full of products belonging to veddhas that lived in ancient Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Here you can find information about every family of plants and seeds and products made using them.

Building has gorgeous interiors. Housing a wide range of botanic materials from around the world. Currently home to SALA exhibition as well. As well as some hidden treasures of exquisite beauty. This is the only museum of its kind in the world. Do not miss the art installation Grove by local artist, Fiona Hall.

Well what a find this place was! Purely accidental but what a delight. It was like stepping back in time. Amazing collection of botanical items sourced from all around the world for their usefulness to mankind. The displays were fascinating and the presentation unlike anything else in Australia. Loved it.

This Museum is a rare gem, an insight into the past and a lesson for our day. The building itself is beautiful and the displays include 130 year old creations of fruit and mushrooms which works of art. There was a guide who spoke with passion and knowledge. Wonderful!
