The Channel Museum tells the many, varied, and quirky stories of the pioneers of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, south of Hobart and adjacent to Bruny Island, providing a comprehensive insight into the life of early settlers in regional Tasmania. Our museum has been established for nearly 47 years, is community owned and volunteer operated, and situated in Margate, 20 km south of Hobart. We welcome independent travelers, tour groups and cruise ship visitors. The Channel Museum was presented with a Bronze Award for Cultural Tourism in 2017 by the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania.

The Channel Museum in Margate is only 20 minutes from Hobart & a hidden gem in the area. A small, casual cafe fronts an amazing museum with wonderful displays & relics of a bygone era. We were fortunate in our guide, Andrew, as he was very informative & knowledgeable. The museum is operated by volunteers & admission is for a nominal donation. Highly recommend to those interested in our colonial history.

Well worth a visit - just wished we'd had a bit more time as there was so much to see. The highlight was definitely The Thylacine Gallery on Level 1 - which contained some bones and fabulous old film of the now extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Also lots of interesting exhibits of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.

At $10 each for adults for this self guided tour, this was an enjoyable and innovative trip. You can stay for a little or as long as you like. Information about the prison is displayed on boards throughout the prison. It’s a small but interesting place to visit.
