The Museum at Inveresk is home to natural sciences displays, transport and railway memorabilia, blacksmith workshops, and the iconic Launceston Planetarium.

Tram Museum features a workshop, a large modern display gallery and access to rail track running through the precinct. You can recapture Launceston’s tramway past with a ride on our restored tram. Inside the museum, you can enjoy Launceston’s oldest surviving movie footage and experience how the City changed with the introduction of the trams.

The Art Gallery at Royal Park features temporary and permanent exhibitions which bring the histories, identities and stories of Northern Tasmania into a fresh and contemporary context.
