The Insectarium of Victoria team is made up of a group of dedicated individuals that commonly share a passion towards the education and conservation of Australias invertebrate fauna.
It is this commitment that drives our staff to freely share their knowledge with all students and visitors that visit the centre each day. Some of us are teachers, scientists, conservationists, ecologists or business leaders and we all share a deep concern for the future of the world in which we live. It is hoped that our message of the importance of these particular animals continues to assist our overall aims now and into the future.
The Insectarium Staff are there to:
- provide you with both an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience
- share with you the wonders of the invertebrate world
- explain how invertebrates play a vital role in maintaining the world’s ecological balance
- provide an important and specialised educational resource
- carry out research into the biology of insects and other related invertebrates
- study the contribution insects and invertebrates have made to the cultural development of the state from aboriginal times to the present day
- create and provide important resources for the community by maintaining an important collection of displays and data that grows each year

The Centre...
The Insectarium of Victoria is often featured in the print, radio and national television media as one of the most unique museum experiences available to both students and the general public within Australia.
Best described as a multi experience zoo, natural history museum and interpretation centre, the IOV specialises in the research and education of insects, spiders and other related invertebrates of Australia and other geographical regions of the world.
Our Invitation...
Today, the Insectarium of Victoria continues to expand its collections and displays and is constantly looking into ways of enhancing its message of invertebrate and insect awareness to our visitors.
We now invite you to experience the Insectarium of Victoria and the Victorian Institute of Invertebrate Sciences.
