2006 - Bust of Em. Prof. Milns AM
This bronze portrait bust of Em. Prof. R.D. Milns AM, after whom the Museum was named in 2007, was sculpted by Dr Peter Dornan AM and subsequently donated by him to the Museum with contributions from the Alumni Association of the University of Queensland following Em. Prof. Milns' retirement.
At the time, the late Prof. John Hay AC, Vice Chancellor of The University of Queensland said:
Under Bob’s leadership, the museum has grown into one of the country’s finest collections of its kind – a reflection of the quality of his scholarship and passion for the discipline.
Renaming the museum is a well-deserved and appropriate tribute to his ongoing contribution to the University of Queensland and the community at large.
