A mystery man's night at the museum has landed him in hot water with NSW Police.
In the early hours of last Sunday morning, the man broke into the Australian Museum in Sydney's CBD and was captured on CCTV cameras wandering around the exhibits, police say.

He was filmed taking a selfie with his head inside a dinosaur skull. He put on a cowboy hat, which he found on a coat stand, and walked through the museum's darkened corridors.
For 40 minutes the man "toured" the facility, taking photographs, rifling through drawers, and looking through storage spaces.
Now police have released footage of the man's exploits in a bid to identify him.
Police said the "break, enter and steal" occurred just after 1am on Sunday at the museum, on the corner of College and William streets.
Museum staff handed over the CCTV footage to officers from the Sydney City Police Area Command, who have appealed for anyone who knows him to come forward.
Police described the man as being Caucasian, with dark hair and aged in his early 20s. He was last seen wearing a denim button-up shirt, jeans and black shoes.

Anyone who knows his identity, or who was near the Australian Museum at the time, has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
