Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology

Brought to Australia after World War II, the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology is now one of the most popular museums in the greater Brisbane area. Its collections include original artifacts like ceramics, glass, and textiles from all over Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, representing the last 50,000 years of human history. One of the highlights is the Egyptian tomb excavation, a hands-on experience that offers pre-booked groups the chance to try real dig techniques. A world of history and culture awaits at the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology, which can also be a fun driving destination at around 40 minutes outside the Sunshine Coast.
