Out on the Town

15 Nov 2025 - 19 Apr 2026

Men and women dressed up at a ball circa 1920s

From balls to concerts to parties, the clothing and accessories people wear play an important part in special occasions.

A night out on the town means a chance to dress up in your favourite evening wear or an excuse to buy a new outfit.  

Out on the Town highlights the styles, silhouettes and colours that have come in and out of fashion.

From the shimmery beads of the 1920s, to the mini dresses of the 1960s and the bright and shiny fabric of 1980s evening wear.  

Explore the fun and fabulous 1920s to 1980s evening wear from the City of Moreton Bay Heritage Collection.  

Exhibition developed by City of Moreton Bay.

The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
