FREE WEEKEND: Maritime Museum Tasmania presents David Neilson's 'Antarctica is Melting'

Join us at Maritime Museum Tasmania for a free weekend during the Australian Antarctic Festival.
This August, we’re looking south with 'Antarctica is Melting', a photographic exhibition by Australian wilderness photographer David Neilson. Drawn from six journeys to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic between 1990 and 2009, Neilson’s black and white photographs capture ice, rock, sea and sky in striking contrast.
The exhibition explores Antarctica as a place of beauty, scale and change. These images show a landscape that can feel distant, but one closely connected to Hobart through ships, science, research, expeditioners and the working waterfront.
To celebrate the Australian Antarctic Festival, we’re offering free entry to 'Antarctica is Melting' and the rest of the Museum’s collection across both levels.
Free entry weekend
