Lunchtime Lectures
12:30pm – 1pm
Recommended for all ages
Our free Lunchtime Lectures series takes place on the last Thursday of each month. We invite you to get to know our Queensland Museum staff who’ll present some of the research and projects they’ve been working on.
Each talk runs approximately thirty minutes, making it the perfect opportunity to take a trip though time, explore an area of Queensland, gain cultural insights, or find out about a spectacular species you mightn’t have heard of before.
