Chamber of Horrors - early Police museum collections

The Queensland Police Museum will celebrate its 130th birthday on November 27 this year. The original c1890s collection was filled with “black” items such as crime evidence and murder weapons. The collection was housed at the Petrie Terrace Depot and was used to educate police officers about criminality.

Today’s Police Museum still includes collection items with gruesome stories but it also includes other significant objects which describe the changes in, and challenges to, policing across the past 148 years. The Museum’s current mission is to enhance the public image of the Queensland Police Service and foster pride in its achievements in the wider community.

In this presentation entitled Treasures from the Police Museum Collection, Lisa Jones, Police Museum Curator, will outline the fascinating history of the Police Museum and will delve into the collection to bring the stories of rarely seen objects to light.

The one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday 26 November and will provide educational content suitable for all audiences.


The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.

PLEASE NOTE: The Police Museum will open Sunday 26 November from 10am to 3pm, and is located on the ground floor of Police Headquarters, 200 Roma Street, Brisbane.
