Darwin River Natural History Museum

Founded in 2020, the Darwin River Natural History Museum (DRNHM) is a privately owned facility located in Darwin River, Northern Territory, Australia. 

Our mission is to explore, preserve, and share the rich natural history of the Northern Territory and beyond, with a strong focus on research, conservation, and public education.

At the heart of the DRNHM is the Stanioch Collection, a remarkable assemblage of fossils, geological specimens, taxidermy, and osteological treasures—many of which hold significant scientific importance. 

While our physical facilities are not yet open to the public, we actively collaborate with researchers and educators, sharing our data and resources to support scientific discovery and learning.
