Coming to the museum in 2026! 

Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends will dive deep into the savage beauty and ancient power of one of the most extraordinary creatures on the planet and take you on an awe-inspiring journey through time — from prehistoric super crocs to the powerful living legends we share our waterways with today.

Developed in partnership with Queensland Musuem and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Croc! will bring together cutting-edge science, First Nations knowledge, cultural stories and pop culture icons.

Croc! blends blockbuster visuals with hands-on experiences, including life-sized models, immersive storytelling, rare specimens, and cutting-edge research designed to give visitors of all ages the opportunity to understand and appreciate these remarkable animals.

Croc! takes you on a thrilling journey through history, from the revered Egyptian god Sobek to the deep cultural connections crocodiles hold in First Nations stories. The exhibition also explores the creature’s place in modern conservation efforts and its iconic status in movies and music, offering a family-friendly experience that both entertains and educates.

Following its Brisbane premiere, Croc! will tour nationally to Sydney, Darwin and Townsville, giving audiences around the country a chance to step into the scaly, spine-tingling world of the crocodile.
