Fun times at the Museum – The Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane

February 21, 2011 by Vikram Goyal

Gallery of Modern Art Brisbane

We had a family day on Saturday and decided it might be time to give our little girl an appreciation of the arts. So we decided to take her to the museum. Little did we know, it would be so much fun for all ages!

The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is part of the Queensland art scene and situated at Southbank Arts precinct. It was heavily damaged in the recent floods and has just reopened. And what a fantastic opening it has been.

Wall of Wishes

There is the massive wall of wishes (Rivane Neuenschwander’s installation IWish your Wish 2003) where you can take a wish for yourself and leave one for others. Our little girl picked “I wish I was older”!

There is the giant ever changing Lego metropolis (The cubic structural evolution project 2004 byOlafur Eliasson) where kids can build a ever changing metropolis using white Lego bits. We spent a lot of time here!

The left right slide (Carsten Höller’s ‘Left/Right slide’ 2010) was lots of fun. Unfortunately, Arabella (our little girl) was just not tall enough to go on it. So, daddy made up for it. 🙂

Besides these main attractions, there are some very creative works around.

We couldn’t go everywhere that we wanted to and we can’t wait to go back! If you are ever around Brisbane, Australia, GoMA should be number one on your to-do list.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
