We are committed to offering a welcoming and safe place for our visitors. We want to reassure you that we are taking the necessary steps to minimise any potential impact of COVID-19 at the Museum, in line with the South Australian Government’s advice.

With this in mind we have:

Implemented capacity monitoring at Museum entry.

Signposted capacity limits in all spaces.

Increased our already strong cleaning and sanitation measures throughout all public and administration spaces.

Implemented additional hand sanitation stations throughout the Museum.

Turned off all touchscreens in our galleries to encourage a touchless visit.

Removed all tactile experiences in the Parenting Room.

Introduced a specific COVID-19 induction for staff (including completion of the ‘Stop the spread’ training) and all staff must sign a declaration before resuming work on-site to affirm that they have not been overseas or in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19.

Reinforced employee health and hygiene practices, including sending employees home and encouraging employees who are unwell to stay home if their demonstrated health symptoms could impact upon colleagues or visitors.

We kindly ask anyone who feels unwell to postpone their visit to the Museum until they have fully recovered. Visitors are free to speak to our Visitor Experience Staff if they have any concerns.

We encourage our visitors to stay up to date through the following sources:
