How Couple-Friendly is Museum of Brisbane?

85%Couple-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 85% Couple-Friendly: Couples can share the heritage lift to the Clock Tower, stroll hand-in-hand through art and history shows, and join guided hall tours; experience is romantic yet brief, so a bit less than perfect.

You definitely gonna need at least 2 hours there! I got there near closing time so didn’t get to see much. I was fascinated by one of the collections so spent 5 min reading and appreciating the art piece already. Staff were not rushing me to exist though. Located in the city center but it wasn’t crowded when I went. Free admission. Will definitely return.

A hidden gem in the centre of Brisbane, within the City Hall. The MoB features a number of different exhibitions at any given time. I was particularly interested in the Perspectives of Brisbane, photography exhibition. Beautifully curated. A must visit, in the beautiful historic Brisbane City Hall.

Nice museum in the city with free tour guides at alloted times. Our guide was especially friendly and bubbly which makes for a great experience, even as we learned about the horrors that still exists in the sculptures displayed above the city hall. There's also a tour that you can book to go up to the clock tower. Don't be throwing any coins down though

There was a touch and explore section great for all ages including worksheets for kids. I especially l...
