🎸 Did You Know?
On 12 June 1976, The Saints entered Bruce Window Recording Studios in West End to record their debut single, (I'm) Stranded.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Today, we're at the Precious exhibition, joined by MoB's Brian Ogden and Eomer Sweet Rose, exploring the lasting influence of The Saints on Brisbane's music scene and their impact on Australian music, bands, and cultural tastes.
Through Precious collector Donat Tahiraj's unique Terry Murphy poster collection, we're tracing the stories, venues, artists, and moments that helped shape a musical legacy.
Come and check out Precious at Museum of Brisbane ✨
Free entry | 10:00am-5:00pm I 7 days a week

Museum of Brisbane explores the people, places and stories of Brisbane through an ever changing exhibition program.
In 2018, UK artist Kirstie Macleod invited Brisbane's Allthreads Embroidery community to create the Australian panel for The Red Dress. 24 embroiderers created an intricate panel inspired by Australia's unique flora and fauna.
Join MoB Assistant Curator Gabrielle as she takes a closer look at the materials and techniques behind the design.

Celebrating our Artist in Residence, Delvene Cockatoo-Collins - Quandamooka artist, weaver and storyteller ✨
In Warrajamba, Delvene shares her connection to Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) through weaving, printmaking and natural materials gathered from Country — talwalpin (beach hibiscus cotton tree) fibres, yungair/yungaire (freshwater reed), quampie shells and natural dyes.
During National Reconciliation Week, and in the spirit of this year’s theme, All In, we’re honoured to celebrate living culture, storytelling and connection across generations.
