I visited the National Museum of Australia on my last day in Canberra. It could be my second most favourite museum in the world (no points for guessing the British Museum, with all its stolen artifacts being the first). The National Museum of Australia is divided into four sections, and we only explored the first two (the others are a garden – more like an immersive experience, and the last one is closed), but the two were enough. I learned about the fire (bushfire), the crocodile, the paintings, the beliefs, and the par shell necklaces. Paintings, people. One thousand nine hundred sixteen boys’ room, the hut, black history. Uluru, platypus, body art, dance, massage pool, the River Torres Island, and Badu Island were relearning from school times, “Suku Badu,” the octopus clan, and their gigantic mask and living together with nature.
Canberra is often overlooked, even by the locals—I only have a few local friends who have been to this capital city of Australia. Still, it’s worth visiting the National Museum of Australia.
