The artwork along the front of the new fossil museum and art gallery in Murgon is taking shape.<\/p>\n

The Creative Country Association project, in Macalister Street, has no external windows which provides a perfect canvas for the artwork.<\/p>\n

The greenery depicts the Gondwana rainforest which would have been found in the Murgon region 55 million years ago.<\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n

Although the external walls of the centre are complete, fitting out of the interior is still under way.<\/p>\n

No opening date has yet been set.<\/p>\n
