Queensland Museum Kurilpa
South Brisbane, Australia
Queensland Museum Kurilpa gives the state's landscapes, wildlife and human stories a useful frame. The South Brisbane institution combines natural history and cultural collections with changing exhibitions, making it a thoughtful stop before travelling farther through Queensland. Families can add the separately ticketed SparkLab science experience, while other visitors may prefer a slower look through the museum galleries. Its position in the cultural precinct makes it easy to pair with an art visit without spending the day in transit.
