The Australian Opal Centre's new world-class museum building on the historic Three Mile opal field is looking amazing -- in this video we take a tour of the facility and check out some of the architectural features, temperature control systems, layout and explore the visitor experience! We also travel back in time to 2016 to see how far we have come!
