Museum of Central Australia

Tourists viewing skeletal fossilsAs an interpretive centre for Central Australia's unique natural history, the exhibits and displays follow the evolution of the landscape and the fascinating creatures that inhabited it.

It is interesting to note the relationship between the geo-morphological explanation of the way this land was formed alongside the traditional Arrernte explanation (See Yeperenye Sculpture)

From the big bang to the present day, meteorite fragments, fossils and interpretive displays detail the geological history of Central Australia.
