Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum

Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum also known as “The  Gateway to Antarctica”, was opened on Monday, December 2, 2013 which was the 102nd anniversary of the departure from Hobart of the Australasian Antarctic expedition 1911-14 which Douglas Mawson led.

This is a replica of the historic huts in Cape Denison – Antarctica – constructed in 1911 by the men of the Australian Antarctic Expedition, led by Dr. Douglas Mawson. Constructed by heritage architects and builders, the replica was only made possible by a federal government grant and the generosity of many Tasmanian businesses and individuals who donated time, goods and goodwill. As a part of the Mawson’s Huts Foundation, all profits are toward the conservation of the historic huts.

REVIEWS:

“Excellent experience. The museum was well presented and the guides were enthusiastic and very lovely. You could spend five minutes or five hours here, reading notes and accounts of Mawson’s trip.” – Kate El

Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is Tasmania’s leading natural, cultural and heritage organisation. It is a combined museum, art gallery and herbarium which safeguards the physical evidence of Tasmania’s natural and cultural heritage, and the cultural identity of Tasmanians.

It is also Australia’s second-oldest museum and has its origins in the collections of Australia’s oldest scientific society, the Royal Society of Tasmania, established in 1843. The first permanent home of the museum opened on the corner of Argyle and Macquarie streets in 1863 and the museum has gradually expanded from this corner to occupy the entire city block.
