3 reviews of South Australian Maritime Museum

Worth a visit

Excellent

The Museum of South Australia is located near the river Torrens and is a natural history museum and research centre created in the mid nineteenth century. It's very interesting from a cultural point of view, and houses the world's largest collection of Aboriginal artifacts. In addition, some of the permanent exhibits highlight the biodiversity of Southern Australia. The building is quite large, and entry is free (at least it was when I went a few years ago). Well worth a visit!

South Australian Museum

Les portes d'une vieille école encadrent l'entrée. Des portes trop basiques si elles n'avaient pas cet art millénaire peint dessus. Des aborigènes s'y sont exprimés et les couleurs, les motifs transportent. Ce musée d'Australie Méridionale est une image instantanée de cette culture si singulière. A la fois musée artistique, mais aussi lieu de compréhension ethnologique, ethnographique. Des milliers de photos, d’écrits, de vidéos qui essayent d'ébaucher les coutumes, les croyances, le mode de vie des habitants originels du pays. Séduisant, désarmant, intriguant. Et au vu de ce qu'ils ont subi, forcément émouvant. 6 étages pour ce musée, qui nous emmène dans la faune du continent, nous distille des infos sur la géologie, des curiosités pour rappeler que l'Australie n'a pas été hermétique à la conquête spatiale.
The doors of an old school frame the entrance. Doors too basic if they did not have this ancient art wallpaper. Aboriginal expressed themselves and colors, patterns carry. The South Australian Museum is a snapshot of this culture so unique. Both art museum, but also a place of understanding ethnological, ethnographic. Thousands of photos, writings, videos, trying to outline the customs, beliefs, lifestyle of the original inhabitants of the country. Seductive, disarming, intriguing. And in light of what they have suffered, necessarily moving. 6 floors for the museum, which takes us to the wildlife of the continent, distills information on geology, sights to remember that Australia was not sealed the conquest of space.
