Waranara: First Nations Tours at the Australian Museum

Classes, Lessons, Workshops and Talks

23 May 2026 to 3 Feb 2027 Weekly Event

Expand your understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures on this unique tour of objects from the Australian Museum’s collections, led by a First Nations guide.

Waranara means ‘to seek’ in the First Nations languages of the Sydney region – seek knowledge, seek truth, seek understanding. And that’s exactly what our First Nations guides invite you to do on this special 45-minute tour of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural objects from the Australian Museum’s collections.

You will learn about the knowledge systems and sustainable practices used for countless generations that helped Australia’s First Nations peoples become one of the oldest living civilisations on the planet.

Led by guides from the First Nations team, the tour will take place in Garrigarrang (Sea Country), located on Upper Ground.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patrons are advised that the exhibitions may contain images and voices of deceased persons.
