Upcoming Events

Call for Submissions: Women in Sport Exhibition
TMAG is developing a new exhibition that celebrates the contribution and achievements of Tasmanian sporting women and girls, and brings to light the lesser known stories of sporting excellence and the people behind the games. The museum is calling for stories, photographs, audio/video recordings and other materials that depict extraordinary Tasmanian women who have championed, supported and/or competed in amateur or professional sport.

To share a story please call Curator and Project Manager, Kylie Eastley on 0439 262 344 or email taschampions@gmail.com

This project has been supported by Events Tasmania as part of the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup program being hosted by Australia in 2020.
