• Community Stories & Cultures: Hear about the lived experiences of individuals and ethnic communities arriving and living in Brisbane over the last century, with interactive activities like "Borrow A Brissy: Stories Across Cultures".
• Family & Children's Fun: The Sandgate Room hosts a range of free, interactive activities! Enjoy workshops with Bazil Grumble, puzzles from Just Wood Fun, and engaging exhibits from the Museum of Brisbane like "Brisbane Now and Then," plus a Scavenger Hunt with prizes.
