The QPAC Museum Collections Store houses more than 70,000 items – costumes, photographs, set and costume designs, recordings, lighting plots, annotated scripts and memorabilia – that all form part of the story of Queensland’s performing arts history.
Tucked away in the upper levels of the Centre, like Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders, it’s filled with objects and artefacts of significance and beauty.
Lift the lid on a box, slide open a drawer, unzip a bag…
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
