Overview
Queensland Stories: People Places Past Present illustrates the diversity of Queensland and traces the change, continuity and innovation since separation from New South Wales in 1859.
The colourful exhibition explores the key themes of politics, social justice, technology, promoting the State and the land itself.
Souvenirs of past Jubilee and Centenary celebrations are on show and reflect the things that were important at the time such as progress, richness or resources and prominent and powerful people.
The exhibition also includes the first film footage of Queensland shot with a Lumiére Cinematographer in 1899 of trams and the daily pedestrian traffic in Queen Street and on Victoria Bridge.
Other highlights include objects from the Queensland Museum collection such as an Eddie Mabo t-shirt, an original state boundary post marker and former Premier Peter Beattie's Akubra.
It has been 150 years of change, continuity and innovation. Event Opening Hours
