The South Australian Museum, based in Adelaide, South Australia, operates as a mid-sized cultural institution within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector. It is recognised globally for leadership in Australian Aboriginal heritage and scientific research, supported by its research programs and premier collections. The museum is one of the most highly visited cultural institutions in the country. The museum functions as a division of Arts SA within the Department of Premier and Cabinet, with a mandate set forth in the South Australian Museum Act to increase knowledge and understanding of natural and cultural heritage. Its work involves acquiring, preserving, interpreting and presenting material evidence about people and nature, and providing opportunities for study, education and enjoyment for the community. In 2025, the institution launched a month-long Viking Festival to accompany the Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard exhibition.
