2009 Museums Alight!

16 May - 24 May 2009

Each year as part of International Museum Day (18 May), M&GSQ coordinates Museums Alight!, an annual week-long celebration that “shines a light” on the collection items, contemporary art exhibitions, historical venues and stories of museums and galleries in every region of Queensland.

To draw on the 2009 International Museum Day theme of Museums and Tourism, M&GSQ has linked participating cultural institutions to Google Maps. This will help you locate venues when planning your next holiday, cultural outing, or simply to find out more about galleries and museums in your area.

Below is a list of participating organisations for 2009 by region. (The organisations marked with '*' have a profile available in the Museum & Gallery Collection Profiles section)
