Australia’s first museum turns 200 — and it’s planning a year-long party

The Australian Museum in Sydney — the nation’s first museum — has unveiled first details of AM200, a year-long program for its 200th anniversary in 2027: blockbuster international exhibitions, a four-weekend community festival, major First Nations programs, new science projects and behind-the-scenes access. It kicks off this summer with ‘Dinosaurs of Patagonia,’ bringing the cast of the largest complete dinosaur fossil ever found to Sydney. Two centuries of curiosity, and still digging.
