The University of Queensland Art Museum was established in 1976 to house the art works collected by The University of Queensland since the 1940s and was one of the first universities in Australia to acquire works of art and to use bequest funds for this purpose. Today, with more than 2,500 works by Australian and international artists, the University Art Collection is Queensland's second largest public art collection.

Opened in 1988, the Physics Museum displays optical, electrical, acoustical and other scientific equipment plus books, catalogues and instruction manuals. Many date from the University's first year of teaching in 1911. Near-antiques of brass and mahogany sit beside newer but equally obsolete items like electron tubes, spiral slide rules, a computer card punch and sheets of computer magnetic core memory.
