Lost in the middle of nowhere in the Sunshine Coast, not far from Caboolture, there is there the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology, which displays the history of civilisation from prehistoric man to the modern age.
What surprised me it was the manuscripts collection!!!
These manuscripts, together with the paintings they have in the collection, but unfortunately not on display at the current stage, are some of the most valuable pieces of art to preserve.
...and there is more....
Next to the Museum there is even the St. Michael's Church, which contains stained glass. This collection features windows from medieval through to Edwardian times and charts over a 1,000 years of European stained glass production.
This is the outside...unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to take pictures inside!!
This place is really worth a visit!

Thanks so much for your visit and comments, we have a few fun film/fundraising projects coming up which will involve Marcus and Julia (our Roman householders!) I might need to get in touch with you!
