“…It is likely these two weapons were exhibited securely within the Museum as they may have been considered portable, valuable and likely dangerous. The machine guns were later offered to the Australian Defence Department in response to a public callout for weapons to assist the Second World War effort (Longman 22 December 1941). Consequently, the machine guns were removed from the Museum in 1942 and never returned.…”

When the First World War commenced in 1914, Queensland Museum was 52 years old. A recognised cultural and scientific leader within the Queensland community, the Museum was supported by the State Government with a mandate to exhibit and research the State’s cultural and natural heritage. At the conclusion of the Great War, Queensland Museum records demonstrate that it was the recipient of four First World War trophies collected under the auspices of the Australian War Records Section. These trophies were initially displayed prominently at the Queensland Museum, however, they fell from favour and were later relocated. With the advent of the centenary of the First World War, these trophies are once again attracting attention through display and research. This paper explores cultural biographies of these weapons and aligns the treatment of these trophies with changing public attitudes to war commemoration thereby considering the role of the Museum in reflecting those attitudes.
