The museum is funded by the State Government of Queensland. ==History== The Queensland Museum was founded by the Queensland Philosophical Society on 20 January 1862,〔''"A Time for a Museum — The History of the Queensland Museum — 1862 to 1986"'', — Patricia Mather, published by the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 2001 (originally published as ''"Volume 24"'' of ''"The Memoirs of the Queensland Museum"'')〕 one of the principal founders being Charles Coxen, and had several temporary homes in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The temporary homes included: The Old Windmill (1862–1869),〔 Parliament House (1869–1873)〔 and the General Post Office (1873–1879).〔 The first professional curator was Karl Theodor Staiger. The Queensland Government built a home for the Museum in William Street (later called the John Oxley State Library), with Queensland Museum moving there in 1879. The museum occupied the William Street location for 20 years.〔 In 1899, the Queensland Museum moved into the Exhibition Hall (now called the Old Museum), on Gregory Terrace in the Brisbane suburb of Bowen Hills, remaining there for 86 years.〔 In 1986, the Queensland Museum moved to the Queensland Cultural Centre at South Bank, where the museum is adjacent to the Queensland Art Gallery.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queensland Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
