Small details ✨ Big stories. Everyday objects - tiles, vessels, bottles, fragments and items shaped by use. Remnants of modest objects can carry important stories and provide insights into the lives of those that came before. This Archaeology Week, discover some of the interesting stories in our permanent displays.

TMAG’s historical archaeological collection is predominantly Tasmanian, comprising material from more than 40 sites across the state. However, as with any collection, there are exceptions.

‘(Dis)placed’ in the Central Gallery mezzanine includes archaeological ceramics given to TMAG in 1939, by the Guildhall Museum in London. The display features objects spanning a period of 1,500 years including vessels from the Roman period and everyday objects, both made in Britain and imported, from the Mediaeval and Renaissance periods and up to the eighteenth century.

In Bond Store you will find a more local story, with belongings from inhabitants of the Wapping district, Lower Collins Street in Hobart circa 1835, providing evidence of how people lived in this part of town.

Food containers tell us what people were eating and where it came from: Pickle/chutney jar from Bengal, fish paste and potted meat from Britain, ginger beer and aerated water made in Hobart amongst other things. A locally-produced terracotta pot stamped with the broad arrow, Government property, a stark contrast to a glass seal from an expensive French burgundy.

Everyday objects with valuable insights into everyday lives. @nationalarchaeologyweek

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do 💛Running tours and workshops, assisting with events and gardening, and contributing to behind-the-scenes projects across the organisation, helping care for collections, support research, and document stories.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteer community!

Image details: Pictured is volunteer Holly assisting with rehousing items from the Cultural Heritage collection. Holly has also helped transcribe a collection of more than 200 letters written in 1902.

Digitising the little things that matter. 🔎

Tasmania is home to some of the world’s most distinctive biodiversity, and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) insect collections capture that uniqueness in incredible detail. 🌏

We’re collaborating with TMAG to digitise specimens from beetles, wasps and moths, helping bring their data into national research workflows. 🪲

Through the Australian Biodiversity Data Mobilisation Program, this project will accelerate the availability of high-value invertebrate data on the Atlas of Living Australia - data that underpins scientific analyses and decision making.

Found nowhere else in the world! 🍂 The fagus is turning, and Miguel de Salas, Senior Curator of Botany at the Tasmanian Herbarium, will be on ABC Hobart radio tomorrow afternoon - Wednesday 6 May - discussing this popular Tasmanian autumn pastime.

Fagus, tanglefoot, deciduous beech are some of the common names of Nothofagus gunnii, a species that is endemic to Tasmania. Fagus leaves start to turn after the autumn equinox, as the days get shorter. The peak of their yellowing can vary depending on the season, with warmer seasons resulting in slower leaf drop, allowing better autumn colour to develop.

Tune in to ABC Hobart Radio Wednesday afternoon at around 3:10 pm to hear more!

Image details: Detail of Fagus, Nothofagus gunnii, specimen from the Tasmanian Herbarium collection.

Our seasonal opening times have returned and we are closed on Mondays (excluding public holidays) until December.We look forward to welcoming you to TMAG 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday. Entry is free.

Have you seen the LEGO® model of Australia’s Antarctic icebreaker, RSV Nuyina, at TMAG?

Made from more than 117,000 LEGO® bricks and measuring around three metres long, this incredible model is packed with amazing detail — and a few fun surprises.

It has featured on the hit TV show LEGO Masters Australia, and was built by LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan “The Brickman” McNaught and his team — taking over 300 hours to complete.

The model is based on the real RSV Nuyina icebreaker, which sails from Hobart to Antarctica, tackling extreme Southern Ocean conditions to support world-class scientific research.

Come and see it on display in our ‘Islands to Ice’ exhibition and discover more incredible stories from the Antarctic region. Entry is FREE!

Examination of paintings using UV can reveal layers – such as varnish and overpaint – that cannot be seen in visible light ☀️ ✨ Some pigments fluoresce different colours, offering clues about how and when a work was made.
