MAGNT is Darwin's best free attraction, set on the waterfront at Bullocky Point. Its standout galleries cover the devastating 1974 Cyclone Tracy, with a chilling sound room, and superb collections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Don't miss Sweetheart, a 5-metre saltwater crocodile preserved after a string of boat encounters in the 1970s.
