Why go

Start by deciding which Brisbane story interests you. The Museum of Brisbane adds city history to City Hall, while GOMA and Queensland Museum Kurilpa provide an indoor cultural choice across the river. The gardens suit a slower outdoor visit. These anchors help build a day around real places rather than an exhaustive checklist.
