This battery point museum mansion holds many colourfully colonized artifacts that are robustly elegant & sometimes creepy.The kindly informative volunteers know the place.Dark MOFO uses the venue expressed via cultured artistic opinion.Capt.AndrewHaigs merchant mansion holds a few collective souls, probably from opium gatherings.During a ghost tour, I've captured him peering directly at us between upper mid curtains.Also search for his maid sneering at us thru the right window curtains.Pay Respects to collectively cultured history, constructed from robust qualities in time.

Pretty interesting insight into how a wealthy family lived back in the day. Not a huge museum but plenty of authenticity here

Like stepping back in time to the heyday of Battery Point. It is wonderful that one of the historic homes that lines its streets has been restored and opened to the public. The rooms are superbly restored: from the formal entertaining rooms at the front to the servants quarters and kitchens you get a real sense of the different sides of 19th century life. The outdoor areas were well-presented. The staff were very welcoming and happy to chat about the house, its history or just Tasmania in general. Admission is affordable at $10 (unlike many other Tasmanian attractions).

A glimpse into how folk lived in early Hobart. A great testament to the time and effort of the volunteers who maintain the building .

Very beautifully done with a mix of story and art behind glass as well as furnitured rooms that make you feel like you've gone back in time. To those of us used to European size museums, mansions, castles etc, it might feel quaint and a tad small scale. But that is exactly what early settlers life was like - making do with what little you have, in a time when Australia was still barely colonized. Makes you appreciate their efforts and resilience, as well as the immense wild and vastness of Australia then and now.Very enthusiastic and helpful staff.

Such a gem of a place! Felicity who greeted us at the entrance was very friendly and knowledgeable. She even played along with my little girl, pretending to have tea in the parlour. Well worth a look. Thanks!

A great trip back in time on a beautiful preserved mansion and its way of life - great visit that can be extended to Arthur circus and beautiful battery point
