Volunteer Expressions of Interest

Opening 22 March 2025, just ahead of the school holidays, Museum of Brisbane is launching Micro Museum—a hands-on creative space where you become the curator! Inspired by Precious, which showcases over 3,000 collected objects, Micro Museum invites children and visitors of all ages to select, sort, arrange and present their curated collection from a range of mini vintage and second-hand treasures.

Museum of Brisbane is seeking expressions of interest for volunteers to assist in invigilation and maintenance of this new space during the Autumn School Holidays and beyond that would like to be part of the MoB community.

Micro Museum is generously supported by Ian and Cass George, and Holly and John Livingstone.
