Queensland to a T
State Library of Queensland
Queensland to a T is a free exhibition of tea towels that offers a unique and fascinating look into Queensland’s culture and identity between 1950 and 2016, on show at State Library of Queensland until January 22, 2023.
The humble tea towel can be many things to many people –decorative décor, cherished souvenir, stylised reminder of a treasured time. Not only that, this exhibition also reflects the state's changing ideas and interests - and the stubborn longevity of some stereotypes.
Get a glimpse into the Glenn R. Cooke Souvenir Textiles collection (holding over 1500 items) and uncover what made them desirable Queenslandiana and how we see them now.
In a nutshell - This exhibition is the place to soak up history and all things nostalgic and memorable while you reminisce, remember and see what comes out in the wash!
