The Tasmanian Tiger Exhibition, Cradle Mountain
The Wilderness Gallery at Cradle Mountain Chateau is home to the fascinating Tasmanian Tiger Exhibition. The exhibition presents a remarkable collection of artefacts, photographs and film, including the only footage in existence of the last Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus) in captivity, a skeleton, a unique rug made of Tasmanian tiger skins and a faithful reconstruction of a trapper’s hut. This joint initiative between the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and The Wilderness Gallery, tells the intriguing story of the Tasmanian tiger and explores how changing lifestyles and attitudes to conservation have altered the ways we view our natural and cultural heritage. The Tasmanian Tiger Exhibition is open daily from 10am until 5pm. For more information, visit wildernessgallery.com.au
