Built on the land of the Darumbal people
Designed by a tripartite architectural team that coalesces the local and national expertise of Conrad Gargett, Clare Design and Brian Hooper Architect, the new Rockhampton Museum of Art is a catalyst for the advancement of art and culture in regional Queensland and a new public building that substantially contributes to revitalizing the CBD of the Central Queensland city. The $36-million endeavour was championed by the Capricorn Coast community and arts patrons from across Queensland under the leadership of former Rockhampton Region Mayor Margaret Strelow. Jointly funded by the federal and state governments in association with the Rockhampton Regional Council, the handsome three-storey complex has a floor area of just under 6,000 square metres, comprising of gallery, administration, education, retail and hospitality spaces.
