Visit the Brisbane Opal Museum
Windsor
Map →✧
Discover how Australia's extraordinary opals form — in a museum hidden away in suburban Windsor.
A museum devoted entirely to opals isn't something most people expect to find a few kilometres from central Brisbane. The Brisbane Opal Museum explores the geology, mining and stories behind Australia's national gemstone, with displays showing how opals form and where they come from.
It's part museum, part geological rabbit hole: the kind of specialist place you might drive past repeatedly without realising what is inside. That makes it a natural fit for Brisbane's Weird & Wonderful collection.
