Abstract
First held in 1876, the Brisbane Exhibition illuminates aspects of Queensland's education system and provides an opportunity to reflect on the role of an institution that stood outside of but interacted with that system. This article examines the schoolwork displays at the annual show from 1876 to 1900, the Juvenile Industrial Exhibition of 1883, and the attempts by the event's organising body, the National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland, to influence curriculum development in the colony.
