On any given day, fascinating things are happening across Queensland Museum. Beyond our exhibition floors and past the security doors are scientists, curators, collection managers, designers, (and the occasional live tarantula) amongst others, whose purpose it is to collect, preserve, investigate and communicate the natural and cultural history of Queensland.
The Museum Revealed podcast gives you an opportunity to meet these people and find out what they are up to. You’re guaranteed to uncover things you never knew (carnivorous sponges), never wanted to know (bone boilers) or help you win at trivia night (for best results, follow us so you don’t miss an episode!).
