Review of Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

Come here to find out more about Tasmania's Aboriginal heritage, its history since settlement, and the island's wildlife. Traveling art exhibitions are mounted from time to time, but always on display are the paintings of the Colonial era. The art gallery has a particularly impressive collection of paintings by Tom Roberts and by several convict artists. The pride of the collection is The Conciliation, by Benjamin Duttereau, the second-most historically significant painting in Australia, after Tom Roberts's Shearing of the Rams, which you can see in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. Free guided tours, which take about 50 minutes, are run Wednesday to Sunday at 2:30pm (for bookings, call tel. 03/6211 4189).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
