Free to enter. Good combination of museum and art.
The Indigenous section was poignant and didn’t avoid truth.

It is a free place, which has different expositions, some of which are usual and others are rotative, and they change.
It has good features, a cafe next to the museum. Moreover, one exposition is outside to main build.
I love to visit this place. On holiday it has more visitants

A great place to learn about Tasmania’s history. The marine section on Antarctica particularly caught my interest. Good place to spend hours here.

Excellent museum, great history on Tasmania. Why kill the Tasmanian Tiger?
Loved the womens convict ship tiles.
Well worth a visit people!

Spent over 4 hours at the museum and gallery. Lots to see and learn. Two parts to explore and several levels. Don't miss the Bond Store! Includes top Indigenous displays depicting a sad time in Australia's development.

Museum has 3 levels and is full of amazing exhibits. Free to enter. Special thanks to Luke for his informative and passionate explanation of local history.

Very nice place to spend a couple of hours. Free entry but donations appreciated. Has 2 stories and several exhibitions, most of them were very informative. Very large courtyard to soak in the sun. Do note that entrance to the museum is off to the side at Campbell Street.

Thoroughly enjoyed this musuem every time we’ve come to Hobart. Antarctic section super interesting and well curated with plenty for kids and adults. Lovely selection of art work, refreshingly displayed and lots of flora and fauna and space for running about for smaller kids too! And all for free!!!!

It was great to introduce the kids for history and art. The play area is fantastic, and there are lots of adventure areas for the kids. The tool kit is great fun. The kids and I loved the finger puppets and were said to return them after. You can grab your own at the gallery shop.

Absolutely phenomenal. I usually tend to go out and explore by myself and museums are definitely my favourite. This museum has got to be one of the best by far. Shares a lot of history knowledge and I learned some new things about the history of the land. Wonderful items and I would 100% definitely recommend going!!

Great artworks, get to know local history. Don't go to the other gallarey and pay money, free entrance here. Great aircon for a hot day, support local artists.

Jack Davies 2023 Nov 15

A fantastic stop for anyone visiting Hobart.

Walking in I was able to listen to a symposium on Wildlife Conservation, and then a very interesting talk about the utility of ecological collections.

After this, I walked through the museum and the art gallery. In the art gallery I verged upon outstaying my welcome, listening to perhaps the most passionate and knowledgeable staff member, Luke, that I have come across in any gallery. I would recommend this place just to listen to the bloke talk!

Definite recommendation. (All free too!).

Amazing place to visit in the heart of Hobart, we were so surprised that it was completely free we were greeted by a wonderful male staff member thu 14/9 I’m sorry I missed his name but he was so helpful and warm explaining the exhibits, where the gift shop was and that the cafe had a strong good coffee, we spent about 2hrs exploring the centre it was well worth the walk around with twisted, and the native animals being our favourite we bought some lovely gifts for family in the shop it was a really wonderful morning

Amazing free museum with a diverse collection - definitely worth a trip if you're in Hobart. No tickets are required, you can walk in and see the collection. Not crowded even on a weekend.
