Humans can monkey around with taxidermy apes, lemurs and lorises at a travelling exhibition from Scotland coming to the Queensland Museum.

Visitors can get up close and personal with 60 specimens and skeletons at the Monkeys! A Primate Story from Saturday, September 29.

There will be photography, film and interactive activities, including a display where people can fish for termites like a chimpanzee.
