Public Visits & Audio Tours (3:00pm - 5:00pm, weekdays)



Introduction


Between 3:00pm – 5:00pm each weekday visitors can explore this fascinating collection themselves or listen to a description of displayed specimens and disease processes with a specially designed audio tour.
Visitors are able to use a unique mp3 device with infra-red capabilities that enables them to hear descriptions of specific specimens and exhibits as they tour the Museum. Most recordings feature an expert member of the UNSW academic staff describing the macroscopic changes in the specimen and relating these to the cause, symptoms and treatment of the disorder.
