The Great Hall set from the Emmy winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has been recreated so families can step behind the scenes onto a working puppeteer’s film set. \nGood to know \nKids under 5 get in free and don’t need a ticket\nTicket categories cover children 5 to 12\, youth 13 to 25\, adults\, concession and QAGOMA members\nTickets are through QTIX\, the official ticketing service.

Just an hour north of Brisbane\, local families can explore interactive displays on light pollution\, dark sky conservation\, and simple steps to protect our evening skies. \nThe Night Sky exhibition at Landsborough Museum\nThe Night Sky exhibition at Landsborough Museum looks at the important role darkness plays in our lives and the natural world.

Interactive displays and local stories encourage people to look up\, switch off and be more aware of the dark. \nIt’s a great reason to make the trip north from Brisbane\, with Landsborough about an hour’s drive up the Bruce Highway. Visitors leave with practical ideas for reducing light pollution and protecting the night sky for future generations. \nEntry is free\, and group bookings are preferred. The exhibition can be viewed during the museum’s opening hours. Visitors with a photo of the Sunshine Coast night sky can share it for a chance to be featured in a community digital display within the exhibition. \nPlan your visit\nWhen: Friday 2nd October 2026 to Saturday 20th February 2027 \nWhere: Landsborough Museum\, 4 Maleny Street\, Landsborough 4550 \nMore information here
