National Automobile Museum of Tasmania
For Everything Automotive History
Established in 1987 at Waverley, the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania initially thrived until 1995. Subsequently, a not-for-profit foundation emerged, dedicated to relocating the museum to its former site on Cimitiere Street in 1996, where it flourished for 23 years. It is now situated on Lindsay Street in Invermay, the museum occupies a more expansive and fitting structure, providing ample space for the remarkable collection to expand.
This dynamic museum offers ever-changing themed displays, featuring The Hall of Muscle—a tribute to Australian Muscle Cars. Additionally, it houses the Tasmanian Motorsport Hall of Fame, captivating Launceston-specific and Tasmanian history (including a vehicle that endured the Tasman Bridge disaster of 1975), and a well-stocked gift shop.
This is a brilliant weekend activity for anyone with a love of motor sport, history, or just really cool cars and bikes. It's sure to bring out the inner child of any man, and create new car fanatic kids.
