Cultural Attractions of Australia highlights museum experiences

At the National Museum of Australia, the exclusive Cultural Attractions of Australia experiences include Big Histories and the Ultimate Museum Experience – the former explores the Museum’s biggest histories on a private walking tour led by a museum curator before lunch, while the latter joins the Museum Highlights Tour led by a museum expert. 

The Australian National Maritime Museum invites visitors to explore some of the museum’s 140,000 maritime collection items in a private behind-the-scenes VIP Hidden Gems and Historical Artefacts tour. This exclusive access tour takes guests to the museum’s collection stores and conservation laboratory. The two-hour experience includes general entry to the museum and museum vessels, including a submarine, tall ship and navy warship.

Australia’s largest outdoor museum, Sovereign Hill in Victoria is where history comes to life in a complete replica of a gold rush boomtown of the 1850s. Ideal for families, visitors can enjoy a Cultural Attractions of Australia 24-hour experience staying overnight in the Goldfields, which includes mine tours, sweet-making, a horse drawn coach tour and accommodation in a Governor’s Room. 

In Tasmania, travellers can immerse themselves in the life of early colonial prisoners at Port Arthur Historic Site – a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site located 90 minutes’ drive southeast of Hobart. Cultural Attractions of Australia after-hours hosts a Wheel of Fate expert-led tour and two-course lunch, including time with a conservation specialist. 

Established in 1871, Adelaide Oval underwent a £275million redevelopment in 2014 and in 2020, the Oval Hotel opened its doors – Australia’s first accommodation inside a stadium. Immersive visitors can explore the Bradman Collection in the museum’s behind-the-scenes Cricket Tour or celebrate the Oval icons on an Adelaide Oval Legends Tour.
