Our Wondrous Planet (Reviewed)


#melbourne REVIEW - Our Wondrous Planet at Melbourne Museum.

Renata and Anastasia headed to the Melbourne Museum during the holidays to checkout the museum’s NEW permanent exhibitions Our Wondrous Planet. A new world to explore at Melbourne Museum!

Here’s their review: “Planet Earth, our planet that has been alive and growing for billions of years. Filled with different inhabitants such as us humans, creatures, flora, different terrains and more. In Melbourne Museum’s new exhibition ‘Our Wondrous Planet’, we dive into an immersive experience with colourful projections, displays of real taxidermied animals, interactive displays and so on. Explore different spaces from the luscious forests, to the chilly ice biomes, to the lively reefs, and more. Different animals and biomes around the world, now on display in one single exhibition to help you connect and experience all life on Earth.”
