Art that inspires you. Cultures that connect you. Stories that move you. The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is a Tasmanian Government organisation.

The Mawson's Huts Replica Museum was built to raise funds for the ongoing conservation of the historic buildings at Cape Denison, East Antarctica, which were used as the main base for the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) led by Dr (later Sir) Douglas Mawson. Constructed by heritage architects and builders, the Replica was made possible by a federal government grant and the generosity of many Tasmanian businesses and individuals. Visitors can step back in time to the "Heroic age" of Antarctic exploration and gain a fascinating insight into the life of these Antarctic pioneers. All profits go towards the Foundation's efforts to keep telling the story of Mawson and his men for contemporary audiences and preserving the original huts. The museum is suitable for people of all ages, groups, and individuals. Private tours are available on request. There is also a wonderful gift shop with unique items. We look forward to welcoming you down south!
