Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk
Northern Tasmania's home of art, history, and natural science
The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) is located across two sites; the Museum at Inveresk is set within 1870s-era industrial railway workshops. The Museum at Inveresk is home to natural sciences displays, transport and railway memorabilia, blacksmith workshops, and the iconic Launceston Planetarium.
