Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory

Darwin, Northern Territory

History

The Territory's main museum, on the waterfront at Bullocky Point. Strong on Aboriginal art, Cyclone Tracy in 1974 and the mounted giant saltwater crocodile Sweetheart. A useful rainy-afternoon stop and a good primer for the road ahead.
