Johannes Theodor Müller

Johannes Theodor Müller (28 November 1873 – 15 March 1953) also known as John Theodore Muller, was a German-Australian sculptor,[1] best known for his carvings on the sandstone walls of University of Queensland's Great Court at its St Lucia campus in Brisbane.

In 1903, Müller travelled to Sydney Australia to begin a three-year contract with Wunderlich Limited making clay models of designs to be stamped into tin ceilings.

In 1911, Müller and his family moved to Brisbane where he established his own business, but then resumed employment at a new factory Wunderlich had opened in the city.

Müller's work on the city hall included carving lions' heads into the sandstone facings of the building.

[1] In late 1929, Müller served as the chief assistant stone carver to Daphne Mayo who was responsible for the large tympanum crowning the central portico of the Brisbane City Hall.
