The artwork along the front of the new fossil museum and art gallery in Murgon is taking shape.

The Creative Country Association project, in Macalister Street, has no external windows which provides a perfect canvas for the artwork.

The greenery depicts the Gondwana rainforest which would have been found in the Murgon region 55 million years ago.

Vertebrate fossils from this era, found near Murgon, will be featured inside the museum, which looks set to be officially known as the “Murgon Ancient Songbird Centre”.

Although the external walls of the centre are complete, fitting out of the interior is still under way.

No opening date has yet been set.
