Welcome to Saigon Art Gallery, a space that celebrates three generations of Vietnamese artistry, blending tradition with contemporary influences.
The journey began with their grandfather, a master in wood carving and printmaking in Vietnam, whose dedication to the arts inspired the family to explore diverse styles and mediums. Today, the family artists work across disciplines such as wood carving, lino printing, oil painting, and lacquer, each reflecting the rich cultural heritage.
While their roots are in Vietnam, they have also found inspiration in Tasmania, Australia. The serene landscapes and unique wildlife of Tasmania have profoundly shaped their artistic expression, creating a distinct style that harmonizes the vibrancy of Vietnamese culture with the tranquillity of Tasmania's natural beauty. The gallery showcases this fusion, offering a unique experience that transcends cultural boundaries.
At Saigon Art Gallery, their vision is to create a space where art connects people, fosters appreciation for cultural heritage, and inspires future generations. They invite you to visit and explore the harmony of cultures and landscapes that define their work. Your presence and support are integral to their creative journey, and they look forward to sharing their passion for art with you.
With gratitude, The Saigon Art Gallery Family

On selected Sundays the museum operates train rides to Berriedale (30 minutes return) or 15 minute return heritage bus rides. Visit the website for information on our ride offerings.
The Museum houses many examples of road and rail transport including Tram 141, which was the first item to be saved in 1960 for a future Museum. Two of Hobart's electric Trolley Buses and the only double-decker tram to survive from the late 1940s also form part of the museum collection.
Amongst the railway collection is the oldest carriage to operate in Tasmania (AB1 - built in the UK in 1869). The first Main Line diesel-electric locomotive (X1) to operate in Australia and the last built English Electric locomotive ZA6. A number of Steam locomotives are also on display.
A large model railway is on display in the Road Transport Building and on train running days the Tasmania Fire Museum opens their display to museum visitors.

Looking at art used to be boring. It still is, maybe, but at least at Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, you can get drunk and/or rage against the machine.
Located just up the river from Hobart, Mona's subterranean architecture showcases the highlights (and lowlights) of David Walsh's private collection of art and antiquities, the largest private art collection of art in the southern hemisphere.
There's art and exhibitions but also live music, library, food, wine, beer, bars, restaurants, winery and cellar door, accommodation, recording studio, and a tennis court. Mona was designed to be explored—as a space of wonder and experiment—with The O, which you should totally download before you get here. Catch the ferry, too.
You could probably speed through the place in three or four hours, but they recommend you hang around—make a day of it.
Each June, Mona's Dark Mofo winter festival delves into centuries-old winter solstice rituals and celebrates the dark through art, music, food, film, light and noise.
Phrontisterion is David Walsh's dream library—the library he's been fantastising about since before he built Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art.
It houses his large and ever-growing collection of books, rare volumes, maps and manuscripts, and boasts some 50,000 titles in a range of formats, on topics as diverse as ancient brewing methods, the foods of the pharaohs, Antarctic exploration, science fiction, Greek coinage, casinos and charcuterie; alongside African art, statistics, literature, mathematics, betting odds, religion, socialism, sex and—that old chestnut—death. There's also plenty of art, a children's library, and excavations through exquisite sandstone.
Instead of the Dewey decimal system, Phrontisterion has the O. Use it to find out about the books and other bibliophilic paraphernalia on display. The O knows where everything is in the library, no matter where things have been put back on the shelves. Let it chart you a course through the collection, linking books—by association, theme or obscure whim—as webpages hyperlink ideas.
