Unveiling the Qantas 747 Retro Lounge Exhibit Unveiling the Qantas 747 Retro Lounge Exhibit Qantas Founders Museum is excited to announce all visitors coming into the Main Museum Hall will now be able to experience a custom-made mock replica of the 1970s Boeing 747 First Class Retro Lounge. The First Class Upper Deck Lounge was a part of the first B747-200 aircraft Qantas received in 1971 and were later replaced in 1979 by Qantas’s first Business class deck 747 which we have in our collection. The exact mock-up replica Lounge has been built to scale using original aircraft interiors features seating for up to 15 passengers inclusive with a cocktail bar. The colour of the seats are a token of the seventies with colours consisting of burnt orange, violet and aquamarine with the fabrics and colours are all recreated to match the originals. The upper deck Lounge was built to use in Qantas’ Centenary safety video and has since kindly been sent by Qantas Airways to Qantas Founders Museum on a long-term loan. From the 747 retirement joy flights Qantas donated part of the funds to Qantas Founders Museum to help fund the installation costs of the upper deck lounge.
