From behind-the-scenes studio tours to interactive AI experiments, Museum Of Brisbane’s 2024 programme is taking art to new places.
The programme of exhibitions, local artists-in-residence, collaborations and off-site experiences are curated to display the diverse perspectives and stories of the city.
The Artist’s Studio Bus Tours will break down the museum’s walls, transporting the public to the heart of the creative process. This kicks off in July and will visit a number of Rearranged: Art Of The Flower exhibition artists in their studios, plus, offer a peek behind-the-scenes of renowned gallerist Jan Murphy.
Museum Of Brisbane will collaborate with the likes of Brisbane queer arts and culture festival MELT Open later in the year, and Troy Innocent, an AI experiment and display with the International Symposium on Electronic Art also in the works.
Museum Of Brisbane’s Artist In Residence programme returns in 2024, with a group of established and emerging local creatives.
Theatre company Dead Puppet Society resumes its residency in May, gathering crowd-sourced recollections for an intricate and interactive ‘emotional map’, as part of the Making Place: 100 Views Of Brisbane exhibition.
Audiences are invited to share tales of love and loss, the the pop-up Write Your Heart Out experience in partnership with Brisbane Festival.

The New Light: Photography Now + Then exhibition will turn the lens on Brisbane, highlighting the spectrum of contemporary image-making and inspired by the Alfred Elliott Collection. It features fresh takes from local image-makers like Carl Warner, Joachim Froesse, Joanne Driessen and many more.
Finally, major exhibition Precious opens in November, celebrating the complex and rich narratives of some of the most inspired public and private collections across the city.
“As we embark on another year of dynamic exhibitions and programmes at Museum Of Brisbane, I am excited by the possibilities for our audiences and the many artists and creatives we collaborate with,” Museum Of Brisbane CEO/Director Zoe Graham says.
“This year promises a renewed commitment to welcoming visitors of all ages and interests to the Museum, particularly our local audiences who we hope will be inspired and moved by the stories and perspectives of Brisbane presented through our 2024 programme.
“We are particularly thrilled to partner with creative colleagues, including Brisbane Powerhouse, Brisbane Festival, Dead Puppet Society and International Symposium of Electronic Art this year, who share our vision of a vibrant and connected city.”
