Rainy Days in the Big City

Brisbane from the Museum - Old and New
There are some really great things about living in a big city, like when it rains, there's always something to do.
Super Fun GOMA room
Evan and Oli were in Awe of the "Art" Above them.

The Southbank area of Brisbane is a hub for the arts.  Many of the major museums and galleries are located there, as is the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.
It was pretty rainy this past weekend, so we took advantage of the city and went down to see a few sites - on Saturday GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art) and the Queensland Public Library, which has an exhibit on art in Children's Lit right now - and then the Queensland Museum and Science Centre on Sunday.



This is one of many "art" displays in "Miss you Magic Land"  ??? Hope Chloe and Kai enjoy it!
Fooling around at GOMA



Evan and Oli were served up for lunch at the Sci Centre


All the museums are free, you just pay for touring exhibits and the Science Centre (which we did this time, but we won't again).
The sun is out again today, so we hope Brisbane dries out and we can enjoy the outdoors again.
