Museum: The National Museum of Australia
Location: Canberra

The National Museum of Australia explores the land, nation and people of Australia. Children's stories, experiences and interpretations feature throughout the National Museum of Australia and young visitors are encouraged to make their own contribution to the displays and exhibitions.

Our Place
Another highlight is Our Place, a discovery display with four different cubbies:

• a treehouse (complete with python and mysterious footprints)
• a tankstand hideaway (shared with a crocodile)
• a backyard cubby
• a magic wardrobe cubby

Story Place
At the second discovery space, inside the bowels of a Boab Tree, is the Story Place. The outside of the tree is lined with the favourite stories of children. Inside is the place for live storytelling, puppets, videos and events related to the Museum's exhibitions and topical events.
