Our brand new UQ Physics Museum is now open to the public.

Located on Level 2 in Parnell Building (7), the museum will be open from 9.30am–4pm, Mondays to Fridays.

Guided tours are available on appointment.

For appointments or more information, please contact Museum Director Professor Norman Heckenberg at heckenberg@physics.uq.edu.au

The museum houses a collection of instruments, books and memorabilia dating back to the very beginning of The University of Queensland. Among other things, it offers visitors an insight into how things used to be done, and to see how to use a slide rule, computer punch cards, computer magnetic memory, a 1 meter searchlight mirror, and shake hands with their own image.
