Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk

“Fabulous! I spent 1/2 day there and I could have easily spent a whole day there. It was all very informative from ship wrecks to train tracks, I enjoyed it all, my favourites were the Tasmania tiger exhibit, the huge old Blacksmith’s workshop & the movie about two famous photographers originally from the Baltics. who campaigned fiercely to stop the damming firstly of Lake Pedder, then the Gordon & the Franklin Rivers, Olegas Truchanas & Peter Dombrovskis, who both died while on adventures photographing the rugged Tasmanian wilderness. There was also special exhibit about BUGS for children which looked lots of fun!”

“Don’t let the division into Museum and Art Gallery mislead you - the Museum houses natural history and science as much as art and their occasional odd hybrids and intersections in an exciting and accessible mix. I enjoyed myself much more than I expected to. Totally worth a visit.”

“I went on Sunday and it was surprisingly quiet, which made it easy to wander without feeling rushed. Parking was free on Sunday too, which was a nice bonus. The place is well maintained and the dinosaur section, along with the history of Tasmanian animals, was actually more interesting than I expected. The planetarium was the highlight. The presentation was sharp and the presenter clearly knew their stuff. You can tell they love what they do, and that makes a big difference. Overall, worth the visit and easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed.”
