TRC awards tender for Toowoomba Art Museum business case

TRC Property Services portfolio spokesperson Cr Trevor Manteufel said the firm would progress investigations into the options, costs and benefits of delivering a revitalised art museum to replace or update the existing Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery (TRAG). “The business case will assess TRAG’s current limitations, including its size and environmental control issues, and explore options for a new or upgraded facility that meets the required standards to attract touring exhibitions and larger installations,” Cr Manteufel said. (TRAG, which opened in 1937, is the oldest public art gallery in regional Queensland) “The existing facility is too small to comfortably accommodate touring exhibitions from state and national galleries, and other exhibitions that are toured by Museum and Gallery Services Queensland.
