A free natural history and heritage museum on the South Bank, with dinosaur fossils, Great Barrier Reef marine life and a science centre suited to families.
The Queensland Museum sits in the South Bank cultural precinct. Permanent exhibitions are free and include dinosaur fossils found in Queensland, among them a giant sauropod, one of Australia's largest dinosaurs. There are specimens of Great Barrier Reef and rainforest life, displays on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and historical collections including a World War I tank. The SparkLab interactive science centre is a paid attraction and is especially good for children. Opening hours are roughly 09:30 to 17:00 daily. It is next to QAGOMA and South Bank Parklands, and can be reached by walking across Victoria Bridge from the city centre or taking a train to South Brisbane station.
