Here’s The Deal:
Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery traces its origins back to 1846 when it was established by the Royal Society of Tasmania located in Hobart, Tasmania. Welcoming around 400,000 visitors annually, TMAG amalgamated various collections, notably that of the Royal Society of Tasmania, becoming a primary custodian of natural and cultural heritage. Functioning as a collaborative institution encompassing a museum, art gallery, and herbarium, it safeguards tangible evidence of Tasmania's rich heritage and the identity of its people. Initially opening its doors at the intersection of Argyle and Macquarie streets in 1863, the museum gradually expanded from its modest beginnings at that corner to encompass an entire city block.
