Surprisingly good. Some great exhibits on the history of Melbourne, Women in War and the Yarra river.... We spent a good 2 hours in there. Don't miss the Gold Vault. more »

It's quite good. Fun for kids! They have a quiz for children, where they need to go to the gold rush area and answer the questions on the sheet! But it's your classic/everyday Australian museum. Gold Rush, suffragette, etc; altogether quite good.

The Old Treasury Building is so beautiful and a perfect place for a registry wedding. Got married here last weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect! Accommodating to all guests and they have wheelchair access. The Maragaret Craig room was spacious for our bridal party and guests. Our celebrant went through everything beforehand and was so lovely throughout the ceremony. The steps and surrounding gardens are beautiful photography locations as well!
