Permanent exhibitions
The Thylacine: Skinned, Stuffed, Pickled and Persecuted
Henry Hunter Galleries, Level 1
The
Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, has come to symbolise all things
Tasmanian, from cricket teams to beer. But as well as being a popular
symbol, the story of the thylacine is also a powerful reminder of how
easily a species can be lost. This gallery tells the story of the
thylacine and its interactions with society through objects from the
State Collection.
