The Natural History Museum is the highlight of the city - contains numerous (some huge) dinosaur skeletons, a detailed exploration of the numerous pre-Columbian cultures in south America, and other world class exhibits. The museum isn't quite up there with its cousins in New York or London - but it is not far off. A$6 (A$2 more to take photos). Located in the green parks north of the city centre.
