Melbourne Musuem

The Melbourne Musuem is a large collection of galleries with many exhibitions, such as a dinosaur exhibition focussing on one of the world's most complete triceratops fossils, a history of Melbourne section including Phar Lap, and Aboriginal and Pacific / Torres strait islander sections.
The triceratops in question.
A couple of other sets of bones, including a pterodactyl.
Miniature Rolls-Royce Phantom and some mechanical parts.
Video of a couple.
Locked glove, the mortal enemy of the teenager.
A collection of Goldfields weaponry and a large amythst geode.
Some snakies and a 600+y old tree.
A couple other items from the musuem's collection.
We also did a tour of the Royal exhibition building across from the musuem. In order: the great hall, the dome above, the view from the promenade.
