Whether you're a history aficionado, a lover of nautical art, or simply curious about the treasures of the sea, our exhibitions are sure to ignite your imagination and leave you with a deeper appreciation for the maritime world.

We present a range of exciting and diverse exhibitions throughout the year, each designed to immerse you in the captivating stories and artefacts that define Tasmania's rich maritime heritage.
