The collection

Welcome to the study of Doktor Professor Yersinia Hergenflertz. As a well known and intrepid explorer have travelled the world in search of objects of beauty and interest. My particular interests are in bones and botany, and Epacridaceae are my favourite botanical species. In this research office you will find the results of worldwide endeavours to collect the weird, the wonderful, the scientific and pretty things that have grabbed my attention. Please take a look around...

New tights arrived just in time for the last day a New tights arrived just in time for the last day at Fraser Rd 😔💀♥️ This is a post I never thought I'd have to write. Our landlords at the museum hub have decided they want their building back for other purposes. They have given us until June 30 to move the collection out. 😞 After the recent floods storage and commercial space is absolutely impossible to find. With the support of Council we have tried our best to negotiate an extension to give us more time but it hasn't worked. So, with great sadness I have to announce that 31 May will be our last open day at 8 Fraser Road. That gives us 30 days to pack up the collection and find somewhere to put it. 🤩🤩🥳We will be open from 12pm until 5pm with FREE ENTRY all day for anyone that wants to come and see us. Where will we go? No idea! But - we are down, not out. We have a huge amount of support in this town and beyond and we absolutely love running this museum and events. 🥸If you have an out of the box idea we'd love to hear it. This doesn't mean the end of our events, either. There are plenty of great places to do interesting things and you'll see us out and about for sure. You can also book a visit to your school or event and we'll come to you. Chins up, skeleton crew! Come out tomorrow if you can and see what you'll look like later. #gympiebones #8FraserRd #gympie #skullsandbones #red #snagtights #snagtightsarethebest #groovebagshoes

Join the team from Gympie Bone Museum on Saturday Join the team from Gympie Bone Museum on Saturday 28th of May for Death In The Afternoon. We’ll be having a chat with Roslyn Melmeth about the funerary practices of ancient Egypt. We all know about mummification from what we learned at school and what we see in pop culture. With new technologies we can now take a deep dive into the remains of these ancient peoples. What do their precious preserved bones tell us about lifestyle and disease in that culture and time? Roslyn Melmeth is in her third year of a BA Arts with Macquarie University. She has undertaken courses in museum studies, archaeology of death, paleopathology and osteology. Her field of interest is the study of burial and funerary practises and the study of bone pathology. She has a special love for Egyptology and has participated in archaeological digs in Egypt. Ros is a registered nurse and still works part time while studying. Her goal after finishing this degree is to move into Bioanthropology. Death In The Afternoon 3pm Saturday 28 May a free death literacy event by Gympie Bone Museum We'll be out under the trees in the museum grounds. Bring a blanket or camp chair and your best Egyptology questions. #gympiebones #8fraserrd #gympie #deathintheafternoon #egyptology #mummification #funeraryarchaeology #funeraryrites #deathliteracy #death #deathpracticesaroundtheworld #deathpractices #egyptian #egyptianhistory #burialceremony #burialrites #burialculture #dyingtoknow
