Mordern, Free, Best Art Museums in Richmond

"One of the most visited in Australia and definitely among the top 10 things to do in Adelaide. With five floors of exhibits covering fossils, mammals, Ancient Egypt, special exhibition spaces and more plus Aboriginal and Pacific Cultures collections, the SA Museum offers plenty for young and old. With so many interactive hands on activities, Myla absolutely loved it here, she particularly loved checking out the various world mammals, learning about the various South Australian biodiversity and checking out the giant squid which spans across four floors dangling in an elevator shaft!"

"The museum is right beside the Art Gallery of South Australia. If you are interested in the Australian Aboriginal culture and history, there is no better place to come than here. It houses the largest collection of artefacts focusing exclusively on the Australian Aboriginal."

"You’ll find Wah Hing smack bang in the heart of the Gouger eat-street strip in the centre of the CBD. The décor, while basic, has a cool edge that seems to set it apart from the rest of the Gouger fracas but what really keeps the punters returning is the food. From smoked tea duck and salt and pepper tofu to the signature chicken in ginger and spring onion sauce, dishes here are always consistent, reliable, and super tasty."

"While plenty of other Gouger St restaurants come and go, Wah Hing has stood the test of time with its modest decor and consistent Chinese cuisine. The seafood-heavy menu hasn’t changed in years, and nor have the simple tables and chairs — just as the punters like it."
