Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery

Invermay Tasmania Launceston, Tasmania 7248

A trip to QVMAG will open up a whole new dimension to the word "art", with Australian colonial art, decorative arts, Tasmanian history, convict collections and exhibits vying for attention everywhere you go. Garnering a reputation for housing some extensive collection, QVMAG also has its Chinese Temple and Planetarium to thank for. Two sectors separate the building altogether: a stride to Royal Park will give you a collection of fine arts, while the Inveresk Railyards houses contemporary exhibits and paintings. Being the creative heartbeat of Launceston, QVMAG invites you for a peek over to the other side of artistry: a dinosaur collection, death masks, Australian artifacts, a shipwreck, and the Phenomena Factory.
