The Insectarium of Victoria has one of the largest research libraries dealing with insect and their related invertebrates in Victoria. Material is readily made available to students and members of the public can gain access to the library by appointment. Contact the centre for details.
Titles held in the Insectarium of Victoria / Victorian Institute of Invertebrate Sciences Reference Library are listed below.
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.
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.
