The South Australia Museum by pchamlis
Located on North Terrace, between the State Library and the Art Gallery of South Australian, the South Australia Museum has an interesting and varied collection of exhibits. Of particular interest are the items dedicated to and representing the country's aboriginal culture and peoples. Additionally, there are many items culled from the Papua New Guinea area, including some shrunken heads and such. (see photo below) We didn't do so, but I understand that "behind the scenes/afterhours tours" are available at the SA Museum. The cost is A$12 for adults. Length is approximately 2 hours.
As for the museum's regular hours and admissions policy.... admission is FREE, and the museum is open daily from 10 am - 5 pm. It's closed on Good Friday and Christmas. For more information, contact the museum at telephone 08 8207 7500OK, I really, really liked all of the headhunter stuff in the Papua New Guinea exhibits. There are also extensive collections of exotic butterflies, minerals, preserved birds and such. Sadly, some of the preserved animals are now extinct.
