Limited permanent galleries open at the moment due to renovations.

Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route exhibition . Stories and magnificent art from the western desert , beautiful and emotive, not to be missed!!

The First Australians exhibit is definitely a highlight. Don't let the construction in the middle keep you from seeing it.

The Circa film show is worth watching. It's a visual feast.

Nice museum . Allow a couple of hours. But why no mention of Brisbane throughout the displays?!

Watch the Apology in the Gallery of the First Australians. Not a dry eye in the house.
