Maritime photographer Rex Cox has shared his vast collection of photographs documenting the docks of Hobart with us, and we've curated an unmissable exhibition: Life of a Port.
Discover Rex's stories from the wharves of Sullivans Cove and enjoy views of our extraordinary harbour and the ships that have visited since Rex first began documenting the port in the 1960s.
By visiting the Museum, you are ensuring the survival of Tasmania’s maritime heritage for visitors now and in the future.
The Maritime Museum’s mission is to promote an understanding of the maritime heritage of Tasmania and its importance to people's lives through conservation, interpretation and presentation of our maritime history to the community.
As an island state, the sea is significant to all Tasmanians.
The Museum explores the influence of the sea on the lives of Tasmanians and the strong maritime heritage of the island.
