Did you know?

Kurilpa takes its name from a local Aboriginal word often linked to “place of the water rat,” the same source behind the name of the nearby Kurilpa Bridge.

Why visit Queensland Museum Kurilpa?

Lost Creatures-style Dinosaur displays and Megafauna

Queensland Museum South Bank’s Lost Creatures gallery has long been a major draw, and Kurilpa is expected to continue that emphasis on prehistoric Queensland. Visitors can look for dinosaur skeletons, reconstructions, and displays linked to Queensland megafauna and fossil discoveries, even though the final Kurilpa gallery map has not yet been published.
