Museum of Brisbane is located in the iconic City Hall, a heritage building that itself is a piece of history. The museum offers a deep dive into Brisbane's past and present, with rotating exhibitions that cover everything from Indigenous history to the city's architectural evolution. Highlights include the 'Brisbane Story' permanent exhibition, which uses personal stories and artifacts to trace the city's journey from penal colony to modern metropolis. Visitors can also take a guided tour of City Hall, including the clock tower, for sweeping views. The museum's rooftop terrace provides a quiet spot to reflect on the exhibits.
