The Queensland Government has announced the appointment of Professor Suzanne Miller as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Queensland Museum.

State Minister for the Arts, Ian Walker, said that Professor Miller’s extensive experience, having served as the Director of the South Australian Museum, will help her drive growth of the museum.

“Professor Miller has the drive to build on the Museum’s impressive record of research, partnerships and dynamic experiences,” Mr Walker said.

“Making our state’s cultural treasures and resources available to the community aligns perfectly with the Queensland Government’s Arts for all Queenslanders policy.”

Professor Miller holds an Honours degree in Geology from the University of St Andrews and a PhD in Marine Geology from Imperial College, University of London. She has been the Director of the South Australian Museum for the past six years. Prior to that, Professor Miller spent 12 years with National Museums Scotland, latterly as Keeper of Natural Sciences.
