Once a far-flung colonial outpost, Tasmania is rich in history and cultural diversity. In fact, the Royal Society of Tasmania was the first Royal Society set up outside the United Kingdom. It was established in 1844 and is still active today.
You can sense it in the 10,000 year old stone carvings at Tiagarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre; view it on the outdoor walls of Sheffield's murals; touch it in the pock-marked sandstone walls of convict-built buildings of Port Arthur Historic Site; and experience aspects of our culture and heritage in the fine exhibitions at Launceston's Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery or the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart.
Admission to most public galleries and museums is free.
