Winner: Australia's Best Small Museum 

ABC Radio National - Regional Museums Award 2010

Narryna is a handsome Georgian house set in a picturesque, old-world setting. Experience the elegant lifestyle of a prosperous Hobart merchant and his family in the 19^th century.

Narryna Heritage Museum is only a short walk from Salamanca Place and the City Centre of Hobart, Tasmania.  The museum houses many unique and rare items from Tasmania's colonial past. Each room contains items that represent life for a wealthy merchant in Hobart, as well as showcasing many items complementing the domestic duties that were carried out by servants. Narryna Heritage Museum also has one of the largest costume collections in the Southern Hemisphere. Costumes are rotated regularly throughout the museum and represent the clothes worn by women of the period. We invite you to come and visit Narryna and experience what life was like for a wealthy merchant of colonial Tasmania.
