QPR is the correct sequence of the parts of the sentence. The given part establishes the subject of the sentence – THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. Q can follow the given part, as the infinitive TO CREATE can become the object of the verb WANTED in the given part. Together, they will convey that the Australian Museum wanted to create something. PR follows Q as a pair. The noun SIGN in P can be modified by the adjectives VIVID and UNIQUE in Q, and the noun VISITORS in R can become the object of the preposition OF in P. Together, they will convey that the museum wanted to create a vivid and unique sign to welcome the large number of visitors that would be visiting the city. Thus, B is the right answer.
