Follow the trail of licorice allsorts to...?



The Parlour at State Library of Queenlsand has some ODD objects on display at Exhibition .

Is it a huge shoe made of licorice allsorts or a guide dog testing device? Kids are encouraged to make up their own crazy names for some really fascinating contraptions such as a 1920s Broom making machine - you will be amazed at how creative they can be.



Award winning children's author and illustrator, Shaun Tan has let his imagination run wild, labeling the oddities which he found hiding in the Powerhouse Museum's vault. Exhibition is travelling around Australia, and many children have already contributed their whacky labels to the iconic cultural paraphernalia on display. Part history lesson, part free association game, there is a lot of fun to be had in this little room overlooking the Brisbane River.

Exhibition has inspired quite a program of events:
