Art, history and a community’s own perspective

The precinct brings together an arts centre, the Menmuny Museum and a rainforest boardwalk. Request a guided visit to learn about the community’s history and the work of local artists. Ask which activities are available on your chosen day.

A visit that starts with your hosts

Contact the precinct before travelling. Confirm opening days, guided activities, the size of your party and transport. Ask the hosts to explain any community-access arrangements needed for your route, and follow their guidance on where visitors are welcome.

Make room to look and listen

Give the museum and gallery time, ask before photographing people or artworks and consider buying locally made work directly from its creators. The visit is an opportunity to hear from your hosts, rather than arrive with a timetable for them to follow.

Give the day room to unfold

Request a visit through the precinct’s booking page or call +61 7 4056 0780. Confirm the arrangements before leaving Cairns; a submitted enquiry is not a confirmed booking.
