 Background Information - Science at the Australian Museum
Many scientists work at the Australian Museum. It's a place where people can learn and new knowledge is being created. But what do the scientists at the Australian Museum actually do, and what are they finding out? The Australian Museum is a place for exhibitions and other public programs, and is also an internationally recognised location for scientific research. Scientists at the Museum work in a wide range of scientific disciplines and are involved in many and varied activities. A large part of the work of Museum scientists involves working with the Museum's extensive collections. The collections are a priceless resource which provide a reference point for people researching particular animal species or anthropological topics. Scientists from all over the world use the Australian Museum's collections. At the Australian Museum, there are connections between the work of the scientists, exhibitions and other public programs. Because of these connections, the Australian Museum is an excellent resource for students and teachers to form realistic attitudes about scientists and the work of scientists. They can then make more informed decisions about future subject and career options.
