So glad that we decided to visit the Museum of Natural History, it is home to one of Australia's foremost taxidermists and many fine examples of his art are on display. So lifelike. The exhibits are expansive and probably deserve a larger premises to reduce crowding. The room is packed with examples and heads of animals and other fauna rarely if ever sighted, even in zoos. We septuagenarians thoroughly enjoyed our visit, just a shame that our youngest grandchildren were not with us so that we could enjoy their wonder.

Kununurra Museum, does not look like much from the outside, but inside there is a treasure trove of historical artefacts relating to the Kimberley, including a wealth of information and personal information of the early explorers/settlers such diary’s, notes etc. Geological specimens from the area are also abundant and very interesting. The museum is run by Andrew Barker, President of Kununurra Historical Society, who relies on donations to keep the museum and the regions history alive and receives little to no funding. Unlike most museums, Andrew encourages the items to be touched - examined & probed,in order to gain the full appreciation & understanding of the object. Andrew’s enthusiasm, passion and wealth of knowledge, and his eagerness to share this information is simply amazing. We loved it, and if you visit Kununurra, this museum is a must to visit.

Our favourite place we visited while staying in Denmark. Friendly staff and beautiful wildlife the kangaroos were my teenagers favourite and my favourite was getting to hold a lizard and snake plus the sweet birds sitting on my shoulder. Fantastic little gem to visit for everyone.
