Museum Of Tropical Queensland
The Museum of Tropical Queensland (MTQ) is a world-class museum, bursting with fun, fascinating and interactive displays. With a primary focus on North Queensland, it reveals the secrets of life in the tropics, the region’s unique fauna and flora, and weird and wonderful creatures from the deep sea and Australia's past.
The Great Gallery of the museum is dominated by a reconstruction of the bow of HMS Pandora, the British naval ship sent to capture the mutineers from the Bounty and which later sank on the Great Barrier Reef. The unique design of the Great Gallery carpet displays a plan of the gun deck on the floor of the gallery. Visitors can trace the histories of the Bounty and Pandora in the maritime archaeology gallery, learn the dramatic tale of the Pandora’s wrecking and explore displays of priceless artefacts recovered from the shipwreck.
See one of the most significant collections of diving heritage ever displayed in Australia. The Langley Diving Collection: Heritage of Helmets features diving helmets from around the world used for salvage, pearl shelling, marine science and war.
Your Shipwreck Adventure is an exciting and interactive maritime archaeology exhibition taking children on an undersea journey.
