I agree. The old cabinet museum style is more interesting in a way. There is more discovery as you see things. You have to make a effort too. There are more objects. And it’s not dumbed down. Also, it’s like an adventure in time to see old buildings and exhibits made in the past. That’s a part of our history too.

But it’s not the museum’s fault. A lot of the exhibits are now so old they require repairs and special preservation before they can go on display again.

I was sad to see the Foucault’s Pendulum had moved to Melbourne Uni. It was one of few in the Southern Hemisphere and proof the world is round and rotates!

The museum shop is so very disappointing, I could buy the things they sell just about anywhere.

and really expensive. It used to be free. It used to be in the centre of the city . It was once the most visited tourist attraction in Melbourne. But Crown Casino got built and Jeff’s mates didn’t want the competition.
