Maritime Museum Tasmania

Hobart is a historic port town, so you can bet it has an extensive museum dedicated to its maritime exploits situated bang on the waterfront. Despite its location, the Maritime Museum Tasmania is broader than just Hobart, and offers an informative look at the island state’s seafaring past. From photography to art, to historical artefacts, archives and intricate models, the museum houses more than 70,000 objects. Aside from this core collection, it also runs exhibitions throughout the year and is an absolute must-visit for history buffs.
