Curator's tours: Extraordinary stories and treasures of the library

Level 4 at State Library of Queensland is home to the Library's heritage and extraordinary collections.

In the Philip Bacon Heritage Gallery you will find the exhibition Extraordinary stories featuring a rotating selection of stories about ordinary Queenslanders whose lives were anything but. These are stories worth telling, stories worth hearing, stories worth collecting.

They draw upon State Library's collections to tell us more about Queensland and the lives lived here.

Also on level 4, you will find the Talbot Family Treasures Wall featuring a changing selection of items from State Library's heritage collections. The John Oxley Library has collected, preserved and shared Queensland’s collective memory since 1934.

Each item on display here reveals a remarkable story, and together, deepen our understanding of Queensland’s diverse lifestyle, landscape, culture and community.

Free Curator's tours of both these spaces are held monthly. Join one of our specialist curators to discover the unknown stories and hidden gems of State Library's collections.
