Welcome to the Museum of Tropical Queensland – Discover More!
The multi-award-winning Museum of Tropical Queensland (MTQ) is one of Townsville’s leading attractions and educational centres.
One of six campuses of the Queensland Museum, MTQ is a world-class facility that showcases the history and heritage of North Queensland.
In a few hours at MTQ you’ll gain a lifetime of memories exploring the tropics in air-conditioned comfort.
You’ll find out what weird and wonderful creatures lurk in the deep sea, the fossil past or a tropical backyard. Share a yarn with some very colourful characters and puzzle over the MindZone’s science games.
See every coral species from the Great Barrier Reef, and Pandora – the reef’s most famous wreck, or just relax in our café and enjoy the river views.
Welcome! We hope you enjoy your visit… You’ll discover more at MTQ!
