    Watch the Apology in the Gallery of the First Australians. Not a dry eye in the house.

    Nice museum. Allow a couple of hours. But why no mention of Brisbane throughout the displays?!

    The Circa film show is worth watching. It's a visual feast.

    The First Australians exhibit is definitely a highlight. Don't let the construction in the middle keep you from seeing it.

    Finished looking around the collection, if you're bringing your kids, bring them to build rocket ship memorabilia...
