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 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.
Filming, photography and audio recording of these tours is not allowed.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patrons are advised that the exhibitions may contain images and voices of deceased persons.
The Australian Museum has a zero-tolerance policy for racist comments and actions towards staff members, including those from students and children.
In circumstances where this occurs during a tour or other interaction, our staff have the authority to immediately stop delivering the tour and remove themselves from the situation.
