Lovely old sandstone buildings (some of the oldest in Tasmania) house the combined museum and gallery. This is one of the few places you will see a Tasmanian tiger. Some specimens of this extinct (perhaps soon to be cloned?) creature are on permanent display. The Colonial Gallery houses some of the best known works of early art, and other rooms house more contemporary works. Special exhibitions are mounted regularly and are well advertised in the local press. A gift and bookshop is in the foyer and a cafe down the ramp to the left of the entrance.
