Murgon’s Terry Blackburn has only taken up painting recently but is really enjoying it … this work is “A Splash Of Purple”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The art gallery at Murgon’s 55 Million Years Ago fossil museum officially opened its latest exhibition on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The gallery, which fills the southern end of the complex, changes the artworks on display every two months.<\/p>\n

Each new exhibition is launched with a special “elegant” afternoon tea, which has become a popular social occasion for museum volunteers, local residents and artists.<\/p>\n

About 40 people attended Saturday’s launch.<\/p>\n

The new exhibition features 54 pieces, many by local South Burnett artists, and all the artworks are available for sale.<\/p>\n

Footnote: A new hologram exhibit was opened in the fossil museum section earlier this year. It is also well worth seeing! <\/em><\/p>\n

Enjoying Saturday’s opening were Doug Johnson, Tash Medwin, Jan Turner, Lyn Thompson, Fiona Jaensch and Terry Blackburn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
