Townsville Museum & Historical Society is Townsville's only museum which preserves, photos and documents to Townsville exclusively. Our museum opens daily from Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm and on the first and third Sunday of the month from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. We have two halls with displays. Hall 1 showcases businesses and the well-known identities from the past years and Hall 2 explains the social history and development of the town. The permanent displays form the backbone of the exhibits but other temporary displays are created from our stored items and these are changed every few months. Our organisation is run entirely by a team of volunteers who work to a roster and complete all tasks required to keep the museum running. Such tasks include: guiding visitors, cleaning, office procedures and special events.
