Located on Hobart's waterfront, opposite Constitution Dock, Maritime Museum Tasmania is open every day of the year (except Christmas Day).

We are wheelchair accessible, and only a short walk from the city centre.

At the Museum, you will find stories of exploration, shipbuilding, and our relationship to the sea.

Come and see shipwreck remains, explore a life-size naval ship’s cabin, and read stories of the men and women who left their mark on Tasmanian waters.

Parking is available along the waterfront in metered spots, or you can park in the multi-story Argyle Street carpark, a short walk from the museum.
