ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY 

The Croc! exhibition team acknowledges the First Peoples  –  the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and sky where we live and work.

We honour their unbroken connection to Country, culture and community and the ancestral knowledges shared in this exhibition.

We pay respect to Elders past, present and future. We recognise our shared history and commit to embedding First Nations voices in our stories.

CULTURAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This exhibition includes First Nations objects collected under past practices that are now understood as unacceptable. We acknowledge Queensland Museum’s role in Australia’s colonial history and the impact of historical attitudes that disregarded the cultural significance of these objects. Today, we prioritise self-determination and community consultation in all exhibitions featuring cultural objects. If you or your community have further information about First Nations objects on display, please contact us via the QR code below.

CULTURAL WARNING

First Nations people are advised that this exhibition may contain sensitive artefacts, materials, images, voices, and sounds.

DESCRIPTION OF ENTRY FOYER
