Micro Museum at Museum of Brisbane

If your kids love collecting everything (rocks, stickers, and other small treasures from the bottom of their school bags), then the Micro Museum at the Museum of Brisbane will feel like it was made just for them.

Micro Museum at Museum of Brisbane

This playful, hands-on space invites families to dive into the wonderful world of objects and the stories they tell. Inspired by the major exhibition Precious, Micro Museum flips the script and puts kids in charge, where you're not just visiting a museum, you're curating one. Little hands can select, sort and arrange a fascinating mix of items, many of them vintage or second-hand, and decide how they should be displayed.

Every object has a past, a memory or a mystery attached to it, and Micro Museum encourages kids to slow down, look closely and imagine where things came from and why they mattered to someone else.

It's creative, thoughtful, and wonderfully open-ended, sparking conversations among kids, parents, and grandparents alike.
