The Australian Museum, located in Sydney, Australia, is Australia's first museum. It was established in 1827. This is one of Australia's most popular museums, and it is filled with rich history. In the museum, you can find all sorts of different things, including the story of the Indigenous Australians, fossils, skeletons, minerals, precious gemstones, dinosaurs, and much more. It holds a very extensive wildlife collection and traces an Aboriginal timeline from the Dreamtime to the present. The museum was originally named the Colonial Museum or the Sydney Museum. The museum was renamed in June 1936 by a Sub-Committee Meeting, which chose to rename the museum to The Australian Museum. The first curator of the Australian Museum was George Bennett, appointed in 1835 and served for 6 years until 1941. The museum is a treasure to Australia and is a very historical sight.
