Part immersive museum, part premier showroom, The National Opal Collection is one of Australia’s most unique tourist destinations. Step inside to explore the extraordinary 100-million-year story of opals – from the age of the dinosaurs to modern-day outback mining – and discover how prehistoric bones become rare opalised fossils.
Adjoining the museum is a beautiful showroom featuring Australia’s largest collection of fine unset opals and opal jewellery. Thoughtfully designed and crafted, the collection captures nature’s fireworks within these breathtaking gems.
Entry is free, with tax-free shopping available for international travellers.
