This battery point museum mansion holds many colourfully colonized artifacts that are robustly elegant & sometimes creepy. The kindly informative volunteers know the place. Dark MOFO uses the venue expressed via cultured artistic opinion. Capt.AndrewHaigs merchant mansion holds a few collective souls, probably from opium gatherings. During a ghost tour, I've captured him peering directly at us between upper mid curtains. Also search for his maid sneering at us thru the right window curtains. Pay Respects to collectively cultured history, constructed from robust qualities in time.

Like stepping back in time to the heyday of Battery Point. It is wonderful that one of the historic homes that lines its streets has been restored and opened to the public. The rooms are superbly restored: from the formal entertaining rooms at the front to the servants quarters and kitchens you get a real sense of the different sides of 19th century life. The outdoor areas were well-presented. The staff were very welcoming and happy to chat about the house, its history or just Tasmania in general. Admission is affordable at $10 (unlike many other Tasmanian attractions).

Oooh yes, great visit... interesting history! Mr Haigh (important to Tasmania) had an unfortunate ending...the lives of those who lived there is etched in the ambience of the house.... Maids and horse attendants all played and integral part of it's history. Great narrative by our TMAG staff...well done! Great place for Dark Mofo when it returns Thanks DSG!

Such a gem of a place! Felicity who greeted us at the entrance was very friendly and knowledgeable. She even played along with my little girl, pretending to have tea in the parlour. Well worth a look. Thanks!

We paid 8$ per person for concession and this museum is a total scam. Nothing inside, many empty rooms and the only one with things inside it was mostly normal furniture which is not as amazing as we imagined . It should be 4$ instead of 8$ per entry

Very beautifully done with a mix of story and art behind glass as well as furnitured rooms that make you feel like you've gone back in time. To those of us used to European size museums, mansions, castles etc, it might feel quaint and a tad

A glimpse into how folk lived in early Hobart. A great testament to the time and effort of the volunteers who maintain the building .

Great historical home in Hobart to visit. May be limited for some as there are stairs, but if you can upstairs are the bedrooms, servants area and they have sometimes visiting artists in the upstairs front rooms.

Very interesting, and informative information in each room. We spent a good hour or more exploring the house and grounds, and when we had questions, the staff were really keen to answer them. Highly recommend.

Lovely example of original 1840's Hobart architecture. Mostly fitted out with period content but little original due to the changing ownership and use of the house. Great courtyard at the back.

A great trip back in time on a beautiful preserved mansion and its way of life - great visit that can be extended to Arthur circus and beautiful battery point

Great opportunity to walk through historical house and setting.

Great little local museum. Worth a visit. If you want to see the arts and crafts house as well, you need to book a day in advance.

A lovely look at artefacts from another era.

Pretty interesting insight into how a wealthy family lived back in the day. Not a huge museum but plenty of authenticity here

Great exhibition of Patrick Hall sculpture multi media installation. Contrasts with the Colonial heritage museum

Must see if you are interested in local heritage. Congratulations to the staff and volunteers who run the place.

Nice, but renovations happening presently and the gardens really need work. Very inexpensive to see.

Wonderful historic mansion and excellent introduction by fellow greeting visitors at the front door.

An interesting and quaint museum. A little underwhelming. Still worth visiting if you are around.

Lovely house, very well decorated and quite interesting architecture and historical significance.

Really amazing local wealthy lifestyle museum surrounded by a lovely garden with great flowers.

Well presented heritage home from Early 19th century in Battery Point area of Hobart.

Really interesting to hear the stories of the female convicts
