Australian Museum to reopen with free entry after multi-million-dollar renovations
Dusting off an 8,000-year-old Irish elk skeleton is no simple task — especially when it’s three metres wide, two metres tall, has giant antlers and is suspended in the air.

- The museum has undergone a $57.5 million transformation and was closed for 15 months
- General admission will be free
The skeleton is just one of more than 21 million specimens being cleaned, dusted and arranged for the re-opening of the Australian Museum on November 28.
