The Museum of Brisbane is located on Level 3 inside our grand City Hall. The doors to the gallery have been temporarily closed but they will be reopening on Friday, 17th July. As the gallery gets set to welcome guests again, they’ve also conjured up some exciting new offerings.
Come July, the Museum of Brisbane will be launching their “Heritage Walks”, which bring to life Brisbane’s vibrant art, culture and history. Get on your walking shoes and hit the streets to rediscover Brisbane through a new perspective.
