Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is located on Hobart’s waterfront, within walking distance of the city center. It showcases Tasmania’s natural and cultural heritage, with exhibits ranging from Aboriginal history and colonial art to unique Tasmanian wildlife specimens like the Tasmanian tiger. Housed in historic buildings, TMAG combines a museum, art gallery, and herbarium, offering a comprehensive insight into the state’s rich history and biodiversity.

Located in the capital city of Hobart, the TMAG might be the second oldest museum in Australia, but you certainly won't get that idea from how it looks. Re-done in a contemporary design, blending in subtly with the art, the museum is one of supreme importance to regional culture and history. Home to a vast collection of works from Australian and international artists, the museum also houses a huge collection of archaeological materials from the region. You will also find exhbitions on aboriginal culture, as well as one on the Tasmanian tiger. To top it all of, entry and tours to the museum are all free!
