The museum in the region boasts 25 years of collections, 6,000 artifacts, and 47 exhibits, providing visitors with an immersive journey into Mareeba's history. For a contemporary art experience, visitors can explore the Janbal Gallery in Mossman, which features Indigenous and contemporary art and offers workshops led by owner Brian "Binna" Swindley for those interested in creating art inspired by the local Gulf.

Visitors have the opportunity to explore a range of artistic styles, from traditional Indigenous art to contemporary expressions, and can even participate in workshops to nurture their own creative potential.
