Whale Mall

Whale Mall is an event space within Queensland Museum Kurilpa in South Bank, Brisbane, set around the distinctive experience of whale sounds echoing overhead. Its scale and museum setting make it suited to occasions that need more than a conventional function room, including large dinners, cocktail parties and exhibitions.

The space is presented as flexible enough to be arranged for different event formats, with listed capacities of up to 900 guests for cocktails, 400 for banquets and 250 in theatre style. That makes it a practical option for substantial gatherings, from formal celebrations to business events and public-facing exhibitions.

Whale Mall sits within Queensland Museum Kurilpa’s broader collection of hireable function and event spaces. The venue’s event offering includes weddings, gala dinners, business meetings and cocktail receptions, with exclusive catering available through the venue’s event partner. It is best suited to organisers planning a sizeable group occasion in Brisbane’s cultural precinct, rather than diners looking for a conventional restaurant or a small, intimate venue.
