Dusty relics on out-of-reach darkened shelves are a thing of the past at the Melbourne Museum. Having just completed $9.5 million worth of redevelopment on their Science and Life Gallery, they have celebrated their tenth birthday in style with the release of Dynamic Earth, the final piece of the new look gallery. It makes sense that this would be the final step the four stage process as it examines the core of the world we inhabit.

Dynamic Earth begins with the focal point of Victoria and then spreads its tentacles across the natural world whilst attempting to maintain a local context. It graphically demonstrates the natural process that shapes our planet in a way that is both accessible and entertaining.
