Auslan interpreted Brisbane City Hall Tour
Discover the secrets of Brisbane’s heritage-listed City Hall building with an Auslan interpreted tour. With its impressive neo-classical façade, mosaic tiles, stained-glass windows and soaring ceilings, Brisbane’s heritage-listed City Hall is at the heart of our city. Discover the secrets of this magnificent building which has been the setting for many cultural, social and civic events in our city’s history. Known as the ‘People’s Place’, City Hall was built between 1920 and 1930 at a cost of almost one million pounds. At the time it was the second largest construction project in Australia, second only to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. A highlight is the stunning auditorium, inspired by Rome’s Pantheon, which has hosted rock stars and royalty and is home to the Father Henry Willis & Sons Pipe Organ, made up of nearly 4,400 pipes. This instrument is one of only two of its kind in the world, and the auditorium continues to be integral to events that reflect our creative and connected city. City Hall is a working civic building and some areas may be unavailable at certain times. Tour begins in the King George Square foyer on the ground floor of City Hall. Duration of tour: 45mins Capacity: 20 people Language: Auslan and English Difficulty: This tour is suitable for all fitness levels and abilities. Please note this tour will include staircases.

If the Seeds Chose Where to Grow' by Rithika Merchant - Howard Smith Wharves art projection
From 30 November 2024 to 5 May 2025, we invite you to explore Council’s latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition, Asia Pacific Triennial Kids: Outdoors presented in collaboration with Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA)’s Children’s Art Centre. Asia Pacific Triennial Kids: Outdoors features eye-catching displays made especially for children and families by artists included in QAGOMA’s 11th Asia Pacific Triennial exhibition (Asia Pacific Triennial Kids). Rithika Merchant (India b.1986) creates bold paintings and collages using a combination of watercolour and cut paper elements, drawing on 17th-century botanical prints and folk art. Merchant is interested in the idea of ‘terraformation’, or ‘earth-shaping’–the process of making a planet, moon or other celestial body fit for human life. This artwork displayed in the Outdoor Gallery features imagery from Merchant’s Asia Pacific Triennial Kids project, If the Seeds Chose Where to Grow (2024), which imagines a new world inhabited by unusual hybrid ‘beings’ and plant forms. Learn more about the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial exhibition, including Asia Pacific Triennial Kids. Brisbane City Council's Outdoor Gallery transforms Brisbane's laneways, city streets and car parks into imaginative, curious, and engaging spaces. Comprising of light boxes, banners, vitrines, and evening projections, the Outdoor Gallery displays art outside in city streets, instead of inside on gallery walls. 2023 marked 10 years of the Outdoor Gallery program. Share your experience of the Outdoor Gallery exhibitions and public programs on social media using #BNEPublicArt.
