Cultures and Histories Program

The Cultures and Histories program is responsible for research and collection related activities across all six campuses of Queensland Museum.

The program has an extensive collection that includes artefacts, historical and contemporary photographs, documents and oral histories.

The collection is a significant resource for Aboriginal communities and Torres Strait Islander communities, researchers, teachers and students, and people with an interest in Queensland’s histories, societies and cultures.

Queensland Museum is committed to Reconciliation.

The repatriation of ancestral remains and secret-sacred objects to Queensland’s Aboriginal communities and Torres Strait Islander communities is a high priority.
