New Australian Museum Collections & Research Building
Construction of the Collections & Research Building , which began in late 2006, is now complete. The addition is the first major building to be constructed at the Museum in 20 years. It integrates a mosaic of spaces built at different times over the last 150 years and brings together much of the zoology collection in a purpose-built facility for over 10 million specimens, with contemporary offices and newly minted laboratories for up to 90 staff and visiting researchers.
The tour will be given by Dr Penny Berents, Head of Natural Science Collections.
