What it is

Founded in 1862, the museum moved into its present building in the Queensland Cultural Centre in 1986. Its galleries cover Queensland's fossils and dinosaurs, the animals of the reef and rainforest, and the history and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The interactive science centre, SparkLab, is aimed at families.

The museum shares the Cultural Centre with the Queensland Art Gallery, the State Library and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, so several institutions can be combined in one visit.
