Gold nuggets, giant crystals and uncut diamonds star in Dynamic Earth.

A stunning new exhibition that uses cutting-edge technology and thousands of minerals to tell the story of our incredible living planet.

This highly visual and immersive exhibition explores the story of the Earth's formation, structure and power through extensive displays of Museum Victoria's impressive geology collection in combination with spectacular and interactive multimedia.

Visitors will be surrounded by an active volcano in Rio Tinto Volcanic 3D in AVIE by iCinema UNSW, a fully immersive and interactive 3D cinema exhibit, and experience scientifically accurate computer animations of a variety of volcanic activities ranging from underwater volcanos to journeying down a lava tunnel following an eruption.

Dynamic Earth is the final phase of the redevelopment of Melbourne Museum's Science & Life Gallery which has been funded by the Victorian Government.  The completed redevelopment is the most comprehensive natural science display in any Australian museum and features over 3,000 objects from the museum's collections, many on display for the first time.

Dynamic Earth is proudly supported by Rio Tinto.
