Dr Arratta Memorial Museum - QLD

Dr Joseph Andrew Arratta was the resident doctor in Muttaburra from 1925 until he retired in 1960.

He was not only a popular local figure, but a pioneer in techniques for performing operations in isolated areas under clinically demanding conditions. After the closure of the hospital in 1989 the building was converted into a historical medical display museum and named after its longest serving doctor - Dr Arratta.

The museum houses an array of medical artefacts and historical memorabilia. Take a step back in time and see how medicine has evolved throughout the years.
