The Museum Narryna" is undoubtedly one of the best museums in Hobart. This is a lovely Georgian building, built of Sandstone and brick, with a walled paved patio and barn is a popular tourist attraction. The Museum is located in the midst of a historic garden in the heart of Battery point – the historic "heart" of Hobart.

Once upon a time, in the 1830-ies, captain Andrew Haig bought this land from the first priest of the colony of Tasmania Robert Knopwood, and in three years built a house here. Over the next hundred years, lived in this house many famous tasmani. Interestingly, the floors are made of two kinds of wood. The part in which dwelt the master, laid the new Zealand agathis with one of the ships of the Hague. The rooms for the servants lined with Tasmanian pine, which cost less.

In 1955 "Narryna" was turned into the first in Australia the national Museum, which today houses a unique collection of Australian 19th century, having a huge national importance. Collected here are pieces of furniture, porcelain, silver, paintings and works of art. Unfortunately, the decor of the house Andrew Hague has not survived, however, presented in the Museum of the furniture belongs to the same time period and characterizes the lives of the inhabitants of Tasmania in the mid-19th century. An interesting exhibit of the Museum – a small tea table in rose wood. These tables are made for the storage and sorting of the most valuable species of tea, which in the 19th century was a beverage of the elite. The majority of the time tea was kept under lock and key, so it won't be able to steal your servants.

In the barn, built by the Hague, today held a small exhibition and some of the exhibits are stored. Particularly noteworthy is the garden, in the midst of which stands the Museum, he was defeated by Andrew Hague and, though reduced in size, still attracts visitors.
