Group visits

Accessibility

QUT has an ongoing commitment to ensure that all buildings are accessible for visitors with a disability. Accessibility maps (PDF file, 214.7 KB) can help visitors to navigate the campus. A taxi drop off and short-term parking zone (5 minutes) is located outside Parliament House in George Street, a short walk from QUT Art Museum. There are a number of designated Disability Parking bays exclusively reserved for visitors who hold a Disability Parking permit.

The Social Story illustrates a visit to QUT Art Museum with information about what to expect. This tool is designed for use by individuals requiring support to navigate through the Museum and enjoy the experience.

Capacity

The capacity for group visits is 10-32 people. For groups larger than this, we advise splitting into smaller groups.

Prepare your students by teaching them about gallery etiquette. It is expected that student groups will be supervised by their teacher/s, who are responsible for managing student behaviour.
