Discovery Collection 23/24

Explore recent acquisitions in QVMAG's Collection and discover the unique stories behind each object.

Since 1842, QVMAG has been dedicated to showcasing Tasmania’s diverse natural and cultural heritage. As the largest regional collection in Australia with over 1.5 million objects, the Collection stands out for its scale and multidisciplinary focus.

The Discovery Collection 23/24 exhibition highlights a selection of acquisitions made over the past two years, including significant historical objects, rare natural specimens, and remarkable works of art by both established and emerging local artists.

Each object offers something unique to experience—whether valued for its originality, beauty, rarity, or historical significance.

The exhibition also offers insights into the often behind-the-scenes acquisition process, which plays a vital role in preserving the past and shaping the future.

Through its wide-ranging collection spanning natural sciences, history, and visual art, QVMAG continues to connect communities to Tasmania’s history while offering perspectives on future possibilities.
