Brisbane City Hall & Museum of Brisbane
Brisbane City Hall
A sandstone city hall completed in 1930, with a free ride up an old manual lift to the clock tower and the Museum of Brisbane inside.
Brisbane City Hall stands in King George Square in the city centre and was completed in 1930. Its neoclassical sandstone design has an Italianate clock tower, and it was once the tallest building in the city. The domed auditorium hosts concerts. The Museum of Brisbane on the third floor is free to visit and presents the city's history and contemporary art. Clock tower tours are also free: you ride a manual lift dating from the 1920s up to a viewing level about 76 metres high. The trip is short and places are limited, so collect the day's ticket from the museum reception. Opening hours are roughly 10:00 to 17:00 daily. King George Square is a transport hub in the city centre, and Queen Street Mall shopping is nearby.
