Old Museum Building, Brisbane
Old Museum Building, Brisbane, Federation architecture performing arts center in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, Australia.
The Old Museum Building features red brick construction with decorative arches and Indo-Saracenic elements across its extensive 1891 structure at Gregory Terrace.
After a fire destroyed the previous exhibition building in 1888, architect George Henry Male Addison designed this new structure using 1.3 million red bricks.
The building provides performance and rehearsal spaces for multiple orchestras, including the Queensland Youth Orchestras and Brisbane Symphony Orchestra.
Located near the Exhibition Grounds, the building contains multiple performance spaces and serves as a venue for musical organizations and theater companies.
During its construction in 1891, workers buried a bottle containing Brisbane's leading journals beneath the foundation stone.
