The colonial mansion named after the nineteenth century state premier Sir Henry Ayers, Ayers House Museum illustrates Victorian domestic life as it was lived both upstairs and downstairs. The social history of the period is discussed on guided tours of the house as is the life and work of Sir Henry Ayers. On display is a collection of historic costume, silver, artwork and furniture as well as changing exhibitions.

The house also contains important decorative painted finishes on internal walls and ceilings that extend to every room of the house, reflecting the differing function of each room. The house is thought to have been designed by George Strickland Kingston and was built over a period of several years.

A property of the National Trust of South Australia, Ayers House Museum is located in the thriving East End district of Adelaide's central business district and is not to be missed.
