What's on at the Museum of Tropical Queensland

Little Explorers - Every Tuesday and Thursday during school term
Little Explorers has returned for another term of exciting hands-on learning at Museum of Tropical Queensland.

Ideal for children aged 3-6 years old, the program that encourages fun, discovery and creativity based around a museum object. The program talks to children not only about animals and biodiversity, but also introduces activities based around museum artefacts.

Commencing at 9.45am each Tuesday and Thursday, this coordinated session starts with the new object being revealed and discussed. Children learn about object by touching and holding it, hear a related story and join in craft activities.

Little Explorers is free with museum admission.

Rescue -Now on
A burning building and a wave rescue has all the makings of a movie blockbuster, but in a Museum of Tropical Queensland twist, the nail-biting scenarios will be brought together in a new interactive and hands-on exhibition called Rescue.

Rescue will take visitors on a journey into the perilous world of air, sea and land rescue, and demonstrate how advances in science and technology expands our capacity to carry out successful operations.

With realistic exhibition design and 17 interactive exhibits, visitors will be able to test their reaction to certain emergency situations when immersed in scenarios as varied as fire, vertical rescue, confined space rescue, helicopter, news reporting and search operations.

Sciencentre - Now on
Unleash your inner scientist at Museum of Tropical Queensland's Sciencentre.

A permanent gallery, Sciencentre promises a discovery-zone with plenty of fun where people of all ages can get hands-on with more than 20 interactive exhibits and find out how science challenges the human body, exercises the brain and stimulates the senses.

Kids can explore the world of science through play, follow their curiosity, ask questions, test ideas and use their imagination in this exciting, interactive and experience-rich environment.

The exhibition invites visitors to challenge their friends, solve puzzles and learn about how science is a part of the things they do every day.

Be curious. Be a scientist at Sciencentre.

Pandora Exhibition -  Now on
Cost: Free with museum admission

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the artefacts from one the most significant shipwrecks in the Southern Hemisphere in Pandora, the flagship exhibition of the Museum of Tropical Queensland.

HMS Pandora was the British Royal Navy warship dispatched to the South Pacific in pursuit of the infamous Bounty mutineers. Today, the mutiny on the Bounty remains one of the best-known stories in the history of seafaring.

Few, however, are aware of the epic story of the Pandora and the extraordinary efforts of the Royal Navy to recover the “pirated” Bounty, and bring the mutineers to justice.
