It's In Our Nature: A Queer Tour of the Museum

Join us for a uniquely curated, queer-led exploration through the South Australian Museum — where nature, identity, and history intertwine in surprising ways. This isn’t your average museum tour. It’s an invitation to see the natural world through the lens of LGBTQIA+ experience, with stories that often get left out of the exhibits.

Designed for everyone aged 15 and up, this tour is a gentle, insightful stroll through the museum’s collections — guided by facilitators who bring warmth, curiosity, and a dash of wit to every specimen, diorama, and display. Whether you’re a longtime queer history buff or just curious about how biodiversity mirrors human diversity, this experience offers fresh perspective — and maybe a few giggles.

Wheelchair accessible and standing-only, it’s crafted to welcome all bodies and all vibes. No prior knowledge required. Just bring your questions, your open mind, and maybe a light jacket — museums can get chilly.

Perfect for festival-goers, educators, art lovers, or anyone who’s ever stared at a taxidermy platypus and wondered, ‘What’s the queer story here?’ Spoiler: there’s more than you think.
