Overview
South Australia’s museums range from state institutions to small community collections on the Yorke Peninsula. They preserve maritime trade, farming ingenuity and everyday life — and they’re easy to add to your travel plans.
Highlights
• Coastal heritage on Yorke Peninsula with hands‑on displays and stories from local volunteers.
• Working machinery, domestic rooms and themed galleries that bring regional history to life.
• Family‑friendly layouts and short labels that make it simple to explore with children.
Heritage & community
Community‑run museums like Stansbury Museum keep local objects in their original context. Items are donated by residents, recorded, and exhibited so visitors can connect artefacts with real people and places.
