Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

For a more conventional but equally fascinating Hobart museum / art gallery experience, head to the CBD’s Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG). A more family-friendly experience than MONA, there are dedicated kids' exhibits and spaces, which makes it a popular rainy-day activity for local parents. On any given day, you can head in to learn about the state’s intriguingly brutal convict history and rich First Nations culture, then stroll through an exhibition of sumptuous colonial art featuring Tasmania’s famous wilderness and renowned personalities. With its mix of history and art, TMAG is a true feast for the mind.
