About The Townsville Museum

The Townsville Museum is the only museum whose displays are solely dedicated to the history of Townsville. The Museum's document collections extend beyond the Townsville area into the North Queensland hinterland, and provide researchers with valuable resource material.

The Townsville Museum was established in 1984 and opened its doors in 1985 in the historic Magistrates Court building in Sturt Street. In 2003 the Museum moved to its present location behind the Ambulance Centre in Hugh Street, Currajong.
