The Clock Tower tour is definitely a must-go. Enjoyed the history and sight more than I expected. I also thought it’s nice of them to not charge visitors for the museum too; a very nice way to boost visits for sure.
A truly enriching experience at the Museum of Brisbane, perfectly situated on the third floor of the iconic City Hall. The arrangement and curation of the museum's collections are exceptional, offering a deeply engaging journey through the city's past. I was particularly captivated by the historical exhibits, especially the detailed exploration of Brisbane's cultural evolution from the 1880s through to the 1900s. The way the museum contextualizes this period of significant change provides a profound understanding of the city's heritage. The attention to detail extends to the magnificent displays of traditional costumes and artifacts, which beautifully highlight the diverse traditions that have shaped Brisbane. Furthermore, the collection of amazing paintings showcases incredible local talent and artistic expression. The Museum of Brisbane is a must-visit for locals and tourists alike, offering a comprehensive and beautifully presented insight into the heart and soul of the city. A highly recommended cultural gem!
Clean, spacious, easy to navigate your way around. Old and new artwork/ creative pieces on display. Well documented information on the pieces displayed. I found the information on history of Brisbane city an interesting. There were art activities for kids to do which my 7 year old daughter had fun doing. And there was a nice little gift shop at the entrance.
Brilliant place to visit. We were blown away with the Museum and its exhibitions. The venue itself ( Town Hall) is a treasure in itself and we hope to do the clock tower tour next time, oh and the cafe smelt amazing so definitelytrying that out next time too... thank you to the lovely museum staff for the heads up to book a couple of days in advance during the school holidays for the clock tower tour 🤗 highly recommend a visit to here. This is a free entry attraction.
I went on a wonderful free tour hosted by Nicole. A fantastic in-depth history and background of many exhibits- I especially enjoyed the collections of collections. If you have a little time to spare in Brisbane CBD it’s definitely worth a visit!
