Temporary Exhibition.

Official opening

Sunday 17th May at 2.00 pm

Our exhibition for the next three months is "Channel views", and features the wonderful art work of David Hopkins. We are very grateful to be able to present the work of such a renowned artist and author of so many books on Tasmania.

These works are something to be seen, make sure you don't miss this one!

News for young visitors.

When you look around the museum there are lots of animals on display, of course none of them are real and can't hurt anyone. Here are some pictures of the animals you might see around the displays, the chook and the lady bird are easy to find so is the cat, and the crab.

Please ask the receptionist for a list, so you can tick off each one as you find them.

We really want to know where "Pedro the naughty possum" is because he keeps moving around when there is nobody to see him.
