Melbourne Museum - Cultural Treasures, Modern-Day Marvels

When in Melbourne, you may want to wander up to the Carlton Gardens and discover a fascinating blend of culture, history, art and modern-day technology with exhibits from dinosaurs to Phar Lap to digital wonders — all at the Melbourne Museum... Then there's the adjacent Royal Exhibition Building, first Australian man-made structure to become a World Heritage site, ahead of the Sydney Opera House.

Check out the tram routes and take the tram from the heart of the city.
