Adelaide, South Australia, is home to a variety of museums showcasing local, interstate, and international art, as well as insightful historical exhibits. Two notable museums in East Adelaide are the South Australian Museum and the Art Gallery of South Australia.
The South Australian Museum is the city's premier museum of natural history, featuring collections of fossils, exhibits of Aboriginal artifacts, and stories of Antarctic expeditions. The museum's East Wing, which opened on December 8, 1915, was designed to match the architectural style and presence of the Jervois Wing.
The Art Gallery of South Australia houses one of Australia's greatest art collections, with works ranging from traditional graffiti-style to detailed portraits. The gallery is located on North Terrace and offers access programs that allow everyone to enjoy art through auditory and tactile experiences.
