South Australian Museum
The South Australian Museum holds one of the world's largest collections of Aboriginal Australian cultural artefacts, alongside natural history exhibits covering Australian megafauna, minerals, and marine life. The Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery in particular is a significant, substantive collection rather than a token display.
It's a solid free stop on North Terrace, easily paired with the Art Gallery next door — allow enough time for the Aboriginal cultures section specifically, as it's the museum's real strength.
