This is part of the South Australian Governments Step 2 Roadmap to Recovery for easing COVID-19 restrictions.  With the health and safety the top priority, a number of procedures and measures have been implemented which are aligned with state and federal government guidelines to ensure visitors, museum officers, volunteers and the behind the scenes team remain safe.

The South Australian Maritime Museum in Port Adelaide, and the Migration Museum in the city will follow, opening at 10am Friday 5 June 2020, in time for the June long weekend.
