Background
The Museum of Brisbane (MoB) occupies the former site of the Brisbane City Gallery in City Hall, and is a social history museum that explores ideas and stories that illuminate Brisbane’s past and present and helps visitors to imagine Brisbane's future. The museum was created in response to feedback that a museum for and about the people of Brisbane was needed.
Over 1,500,000 people have visited the Museum since its opening.
Display Program
The MoB has a changing exhibition program that celebrates Brisbane through social history, visual arts, craft and design. All MoB exhibitions are founded on a strong community-based relationship. Artist’s curators and community groups all provide input into the exhibitions and local products sold in the MoB Store. Each exhibition generally lasts for six to eight weeks.
Entrance to MoB exhibitions are free.
Gift Shop
The MoB also features a large gift shop, with a special focus on local Brisbane artisan craft and works. There is also a special viewing area where visitors can view an artisan at work.
Opening Hours
The MoB is open 7 days a week, from 10am to 5pm, except for Anzac Day and Christmas Day.
