Futuristic Museum with VR shows!
If you’re in Canberra, you have to check out the National Museum of Australia. They have a few permanent exhibits that are free to visit, and honestly wowed me with their beautiful presentation. Immerse yourself with lights, sounds and history in the Great Southern Land exhibit that was my personal favourite. They also have VR shows where they transport you to Antarctica or Outerspace at $20 aud per ticket.

One of the most explored cities in the world | Australia Canberra
Explore the city do not miss - Australia National Academy of Fine Arts and Australian National Museum
National Gallery here more than 160,000 Art works, the Chinese aunt who explained to me is a funny and elegant person duck~ I am impressed by the sculpture in Figure 3, the head is on the ground and the phone is still in the hand, explaining "social tools let us Life has disappeared unconsciously." There are five or five works, and the miniature crowd is very realistic. I asked the administrator to put a few McDonald's villains in such a serious work. The administrator said: Some people say that eating McDonald's will kill more people... Hey, Brother dei, are you serious?
The National Museum is another charm. The venue itself is very design, and its great to take pictures outside. The exhibits here are very interesting, such as the Mutombo fossils, the Sydney Opera House section, various models, and two VR experiences per day.
There are joint exhibitions from time to time. When I go, it is a special exhibition of DreamWorks Animation: from sketch to screen. You can see a lot of familiar movies, such as "Kung Fu Panda", from the sketch character to the whole movie to the screen, you can understand the birth of the entire animated film.
When you leave, remember to go to the gift shop. There are various kinds of children's books, as well as local design handmade ornaments. Some of the products are handmade by the aborigines, and they are unique and partially earned. Money is returned directly to these aborigines.
End the exhibition, you can have a cup of coffee in the restaurant of the art gallery and then enjoy the food and beauty and then leave~

The National Museum of Australia is one of those must see exhibitions in Canberra. Although some parts are temporarily closed for renovation there is enough to keep you entertained for a couple of hours. School aged children will greatly benefit from the exhibition, in particular, the professional way it has been put together.
How our country has developed over the milennia is amazing, interesting, and a gold mine of information. It's also entertaining.
Morning tea, afternoon tea and lunch are classy and more than good enough to keep the family going for the duration.
From the city it's about a 28 minute walk or a quick cab or bus ride.
Well worth the visit.

Canberra travel guide, only spent 400 dollars for two days and two nights
Eat: More than 70 dollars a day.
Stay: About 180 dollars for two nights (I stayed in a double room at Meriton with a friend).
Travel: Round trip bus is 46 dollars a trip, student bus ticket in Canberra is 4.8 dollars a day, taxi fare in the middle is 20 dollars.
The total cost is just over 400 dollars, and the experience is quite good.
Day 1: Arrived in Canberra at one o'clock in the afternoon, after storing the luggage at the Meriton hotel, went to eat Thai food Kinn, 50 per person, the taste is good, then went to the nearby museum & gallery, followed by the Australian National, also visited the nearby central mall in the evening, dinner was biangbiang noodles, but not very tasty.
Day 2: Slept in, didn't go out until after eleven, went to both the old and new parliament, went to the Royal Mint, went to the National Art Museum, saw the sunset at Ainslie Mountain, saw wild rabbits and kangaroos (but they ran away quickly), ate Indian food Blu ginger, 30-40 per person, the taste was a bit strong for me, but it was okay.
Day 3: Spent half a day in the morning at the National Museum (the only place I went that required a ticket to see the whole museum, we only visited the free area) and Griffin Lake, ate at Terra, went home in the afternoon.
In total, two days and two nights, my friend and I both felt that we ate well, stayed well, and had a good time.
There are really few people in Canberra, there are few living people in the city center during the day, the buildings are not dense, the view is open, the sky is very clean, and the locals are very enthusiastic.
Two or three days is enough, there are not many fun places there and they are not big. Canberra·Australian Capital Territory

Don’t miss: National Museum of Australia 🇦🇺
#timetotravel
The National Museum of Australia, situated in the heart of Canberra, is a captivating journey through the nation's history and culture. My visit to this architectural masterpiece was an enlightening and enriching experience.
The museum's design, with its distinctive Uluru-inspired architecture, is a work of art in itself. Inside, I explored a vast collection of exhibits that span the entirety of Australia's past and present. From Indigenous heritage to colonial history, the galleries are thoughtfully curated.
What sets this museum apart is its interactive and immersive displays. The interactive exhibits, such as the "Circa" and "Kspace" experiences, engage visitors of all ages, making learning about Australia's history and culture enjoyable.
The museum's lakeside location, with picturesque views of Lake Burley Griffin and the surrounding parklands, adds to the overall experience. For history buffs, art enthusiasts, and anyone keen to explore Australia's diverse story, the National Museum of Australia is an essential destination that beautifully encapsulates the essence of the nation. #australia #instatravel #museum
