Bass Strait Maritime Centre

Inside a heritage-listed harbourmaster's cottage from 1920, this Devonport foreshore museum anchors its collection around Bass Strait's maritime past. The standout is the permanent First Nations exhibition — Uncle Rex Greeno's paperbark ningher and Dave mangenner Gough's storytelling reframe who the sea has always belonged to. A Jaws Architects–designed wing houses a ship simulator recreating the SS Woniora's passage through the Mersey.
