UQ Anthropology Museum

A place to travel in time and experience human ancestry

Educational and interesting museum in the beautiful University of Queensland, Brisbane. Employees are cooperative and supporting. It was a great experience for better understanding of native population.

It’d be better to put some more capture about exhibitions.but it can be helped coz its small space.I think this is not sort of museum like but it’s like small space for exhibitions.

A nice collection of the aboriginal artifacts and details of Andaman, its meticulously maintained and a good effort of Andaman Emerald Holidays to bring to the knowledge the facts and History of Andaman, its cheap but a Must visit spot to understand Andaman better...

Went to see a medieval exhibit here and ended up spending more time in the rest of the museum instead! Plenty of discovery and fun to be had. Loved it!

It's ok for a quick visit as it's a small space, the exhibition I saw wasn't of great interest to me but everyone's different.

But now researchers at Queensland University of Technology in Australia have come up with a way to predict, locate, and track endangered species without ever having to leave the lab - entirely through virtual reality.By creating an immersive environment, scientists are now able to explore exotic ecosystems, such as the jungles of Borneo or the savannahs of Africa, and use the platform to work out which habitats are most likely to house endangered species, and therefore which are most critical to protect. Think of it like the 2009 film Avatar, but without the big blue body.These conservation decisions are currently based on habitat suitability maps, which simply tell researchers about the plant cover and terrain in a certain region, and look something like this one, created for chimpanzee populations: Jane Goodall Institute/University of Maryland/NASA. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to base conservation strategies on that information, which is why the scientists felt it was so important to create a cheap and easy way for researchers to see and experience the habitats for themselves.It's expensive

Like anything that changes its display items and themes, some will be liked more or less than others.

Had dinosaur and anthropocene chart.

A definite must-visit for the inner historians. Tucked away near the Biological Sciences Library and the art museum, the University of Queensland's Anthropology Museum hosts an in-depth display of human tools from various areas. The Solomon Island exhibition was on display during my visit, and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
