Museum of Brisbane
Brisbane City Hall, Australia

Inside City Hall, the Museum of Brisbane turns attention from the city's skyline to its people and creative life. Exhibitions explore local culture, history and contemporary practice within one of Brisbane's most recognisable civic buildings. It is a useful first stop for visitors who want context before wandering the centre, and a manageable cultural pause between other plans. Allow extra time if you add one of the museum's separately scheduled City Hall or Clock Tower tours.
