The Queensland Museum, on the corner of Grey and Melbourne streets, underwent a major revamp in 2003 and looks the better for it. The museum houses an eclectic collection ranging from natural history specimens and fossils to a World War I German tank.
Children will like the blue whale model; the dinosaurs, which include Queensland’s own Muttaburrasaurus; and the interactive Sciencentre. The museum has a cafe and gift shop. Admission is free, except to the Sciencentre and traveling exhibitions. It’s open daily 9:30am to 5pm; closed Good Friday, December 25, and until noon on April 25 (Anzac Day).
