The Old Museum, 460 Gregory Terrace, Bowen Hills, Queensland

Located on the corner of Bowen Bridge Rd and Gregory Terrace Bowen Hills, it is a rare example of Byzantine-Victorian architecture. Constructed in 1891 as an exhibition and concert hall for the RNA, it was one of Brisbane’s premiere venue for balls, concerts and civic functions. It also one of the earliest venues that the people of Brisbane experienced motion pictures. It later, until the 1980’s, housed the Queensland Museum and Queensland Art Gallery. It is presently the home to a number of arts organisations.
