The 10 Best Museums in Brisbane
"Housed inside one of Queensland's oldest buildings, the Commissariat Store Museum explores life in the colony and the state's convict history. It opened in 1982, although the original building was constructed by convicts between 1828 and 1829 to serve as the store for the Moreton Bay penal settlement. The museum's most notorious object is a bottle containing the "convict fingers," which, according to legend, were cut off by the convicts themselves to avoid hard labor."
