He joined the Australian Museum in 1910 as a cadet and at the time of his death was Curator of Insects and Arachnids. Fieldwork was integral to his research and he visited all states (except Western Australia) and New Guinea. Musgrave was a prolific writer, publishing nearly 200 publications on all aspects of natural history in both scientific journals and popular magazines. Early papers often illustrated his highly-skilled drawings. He is best known for his Bibliography of Australian entomology, 1775-1930, an encyclopaedic and meticulous work (sometimes describes as "monumental") which included exact dates of publication, biographical notes on authors and collectors, and details of scientific expeditions. Musgrave was an active member and office bearer of local scientific organisations.
