Story

Narryna is a gem of Australian colonial architecture containing a rich collection of Tasmanian fine and decorative arts.The fine Greek Revival town house was built by Captain Andrew Haig in 1837-40. Haig purchased the land holding in 1824 in the course of a lucrative trading voyage between Calcutta, Canton and Valparaiso. Haig built warehouses facing Salamanca Place in 1834 and set up as a merchant and shipbuilder while also operating goods and passenger services to mainland ports. Haig was forced to sell up after an economic downturn hit the Australian colonies in 1842.

Narryna was later the residence of an array of Hobart businessmen and women, lawyers, politicians and bankers. In 1955 it became Australia's first folk museum through the efforts of local residents who formed a collection that is redolent of the mercantile and maritime histories of Salamanca Place and Battery Point. We invite you to step into Narryna for a rich experience of early colonial life.

Lovely example of original 1840's Hobart architecture. Mostly fitted out with period content but little original due to the changing ownership and use of the house. Great courtyard at the back.
