Queen Victoria Art Gallery

Queen Victoria Museum's artistic sibling, the Queen Victoria Art Gallery (qvmag.tas.gov.au; free) occupies a separate site and is home to the First Tasmanians Gallery, showcasing shelters, tools and bush foods for Tasmanian Aboriginal people, including kelp water carriers and beautiful rice-shell and maireener-shell necklaces. Colonial paintings, including works by John Glover, are the pride of the rest of the collection in a meticulously restored 19th-century building on the edge of Royal Park. There's also a popular cafe and a gallery shop.
