The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) is a must see in Darwin. The MAGNT collections place our region's art, history and culture in an Australian and international context.
The MAGNT complex consists of five major permanent galleries, a touring gallery, educational facilities for school groups and children, a theatre, the Museum Shop, and the Cornucopia Museum Café – a great location overlooking Fannie Bay for coffee and/or lunch.
There is an amazing collection of Indigenous Art, South East Asian and Oceanic Art. The Cyclone Tracy exhibit is a favourite for visitors showing the stark reality and tragedy of Australia’s worst natural disaster. You can see Sweetheart the crocodile, a 5 metre croc that has an interesting tale and many other natural science exhibits highlighting the diverse environment of the NT.
The MAGNT also has a temporary exhibition program. This comprehensive program is developed incorporating touring exhibitions from other museums and art galleries, as well as MAGNT initiated exhibitions which, from time to time, feature Territory artists.
