Light Fantastic: Expo

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this landmark event, Light Fantastic: Expo ‘88 Parades Rewired will take visitors back in time to rediscover the magic of the Lunchtime and the Qantas Light Fantastic Parades that mesmerised crowds every day. Unlike anything ever seen in Australia before, creating the parades was an intensive process. The resulting joy for thousands of visitors only hints at the enormous energy and collaboration needed to bring the ideas to life. Cost: Free. Venue: Museum of Brisbane.

Panoramas

Museum of Brisbane Among the countless images taken since the introduction of photography to Australia in the 1860s, panoramas contain something special.

Providing a fascinating insight into life in Brisbane over a 150 year span, the exhibition tracks Brisbane’s growth from a modest town nestled in the river’s curves to the modern city we know today. Cost: Free. Venue: Museum of Brisbane. Thursday, June 20, 2013, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

Connecting you to the stories of the city, the exhibition charts a compelling journey from Brisbane's earliest settlement through to the modern city we call home. Cost: Free. Venue: Museum of Brisbane. Thursday, June 20, 2013, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

Unlike anything ever seen in Australia before, creating the parades was an intensive process. The resulting joy for thousands of visitors only hints at the enormous energy and collaboration needed to bring the ideas to life. Cost: Free. Venue: Museum of Brisbane.
