Megafauna Central

Megafauna Central is a museum in central Alice Springs, Northern Territory, operated by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Located on Todd Mall, it showcases the extinct megafauna of Central Australia, particularly fossils from the Alcoota fossil site northeast of Alice Springs. The museum features life-sized models, fossil displays and interactive exhibits explaining the region's ancient environment and climate change over eight million years.

The galleries explain the Alcoota fossil beds and Central Australia's prehistoric environment through skeletons, models, and multimedia. The space is designed for self-guided viewing with information panels, a gift shop, and staff available to answer questions.
