I love wandering through the exhibits and imagining how it must have been. for a relatively small. volunteer-run operation, the displays are really well maintained and diverse. My favourites are the clothes - gorgeous women's dresses - and the dolls - but there's an emphasis on farm maachinery and a blacksmith's shop as this was predominanatly a farming coommunity. there's also a Cobb & Co. coach, a maritime display and lots more. At only $5 for adults and $1 for kids, it's an interesting place to visit for a day out - with lunch at a local pub or fish and chips on the bay perhaps?

The UQ Antiquities Museum is small, but they have an excellent collection of pottery, knives,…read morecoins, and some glassware from Europe (mostly Rome, but some Greek stuff and others as well). Most of the collection is about 2,000 years old but they have a few items that are even older. There's a lot of description about the time period (but not enough, in my opinion, about the individual pieces), and if you're a nerd like me, you can easily spend an hour here learning about a fascinating period in the history of western civilization. But best of all, the antiquities museum has far and away the best climate control of any room on the entire UQ campus. Is your office too cold? Is your classroom too hot? Is it humid beyond belief outside? Come in here and refresh yourself and enjoy the calming background music, and you'll be back to normal in no time.

The R D Milns Antiquities Museum was my home away from home when I was studying history at UQ. I…read morewas always so much happier having tutorials inside the museum because it meant we were actually going to look at and handle relevant artefacts to what we were studying; always with Alice in Wonderland reminiscent white gloves of course. I'd spend hours poring over pottery and ancient coins and being completely mesmerised by the Greek red figure ware pots. I remember feeling so many things clicking into place inside this museum. I was so passionate about ancient history and the artefacts in the R D Mils Museum gave life to that passion. After reading about and hearing about ancient iconography, pottery techniques, coinage, and descriptions from ancient sources, it was so wonderful to see some real examples in the flesh. You don't really understand the magnitude of an artefact until you hold it. Imagine examining a skyphos from the 5th century BC. It's absolutely unbelievable and this museum was a lifeline for someone as obsessed with history as me. Visitors are always welcome inside the university's museums, and the R D Milns Antiquities Museum is an experience not to be missed by anyone with an interest in history. Due to all the reconstruction in the Michie Building, the R D Milns Antiquities Museum now resides in Mayne hall temporarily. The new gallery looks set to open in about September of this year and it's going to be bigger and better than ever. The Museum's Facebook page even asks questions to help make the new space better than before. You can jump on and have your say to contribute before the new Museum opens.

The artworks change often and quite often of a much higher standard than I'd ever have expected from a university gallery.

It's a shame, then, that I don't spend more time inside it, as they frequently have new exhibitions and one can wander in, free of charge, whenever one pleases. I have, however, been in there for a few public lectures and their small partitioned galleries make for excellent lecture spaces. The UQ website provides up-to-date details on when lectures are on and often all that's required is an RSVP. I don't know that I'd make a special trip to the UQ St Lucia campus specifically to visit the Art Museum, however, UQ students (myself included) should make better use of it and peruse the art in between lectures.
