Public exhibitions are an important and integral part of the Queensland Parliament's Community Engagement strategy.
Exhibitions are produced to commemorate significant events and explain parliamentary processes. They contain historical and topical information on Members, debates and decisions of the Queensland Parliament. Exhibitions are displayed publicly either at the parliamentary buildings in Brisbane or tour regionally depending on the topic.
Information collated for exhibitions and displays is also published here on the Queensland Parliament's website.
