Best Museums in Kuranda

"Indigenous Dreamtime storytelling through art is itself historical. These stories have been passed down from generation to generation and today; you can see and buy your own little piece of Indigenous culture at the Doongal Aboriginal Art and artefacts gallery. They specialise in showcasing and selling authentic local Aboriginal Rainforest Art, plus artwork sourced from Indigenous Central Australian artists."

"Art lovers will enjoy a visit to Doongal Aboriginal Art too. Located in Cairns CBD, this art space offers local indigenous artists a place to not only display their work but to sell it too. They have a huge array of art pieces from across Queensland and further afield."

"An unusual place to visit, and a place you may not expect to find in tropical Cairns, is the Samurai Gallery. Collated and curated by a local enthusiast, this is the largest collection of Samurai artefacts and exhibits to be found in Australia."

"This fascinating museum will enthral military enthusiasts and novices alike. Open since the 6th September 2014, this military museum is situated in Caravonica only 11 kms from the Cairns City centre. This relatively new museum has a vast collection of military paraphernalia, some of which cannot be found anywhere else in Australia."

"UnderArt is an eclectic commercial gallery, with abstract and contemporary works by Cairns-based artists alongside jewelry and sculptures. The accessible prices and hyper-local focus make UnderArt a great place to shop for souvenirs and gifts. The stylish tapas bar next door is run by the same owner and is also worth a visit."
