Queen Victoria Art Gallery: to Feb 1, 2026 Shapeshifting: The Art of Helen Wright. Spanning over four decades of creative inquiry, Shapeshifting explores one of Tasmania’s most enduringly vital and visionary artists and her remarkable capacity for enduring transformation. Helen Wright’s work responds to a world marked by ecological unease and existential fragility. Working across painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, Wright embodies the archetypal shapeshifter – an artist capable of moving between mediums and meanings, inhabiting different states, and slipping between boundaries both physical and metaphysical.
To Feb 15, 2026 Traces: Chris Bell. A passionate naturalist, Chris Bell has been photographing wild places and wild things for over 30 years. He came to Tasmania from country NSW in 1972 to join the campaign to save Lake Pedder from destruction and has remained here ever since. His work casts a spotlight on vulnerable places and threatened species to bolster conservation efforts. Through the lens of his camera, Bell captures patterns and traces in the landscape and blurs the lines between wilderness photography and art photography.

To March 9, 2026 Sam Jinks || Mortal Reflections. The first major Tasmanian exhibition of renowned hyperrealist sculptor Sam Jinks also marks the largest collection of his works ever shown.

Queen Victoria Museum: Dec 20 to June 7, 2026 Anatomy Lessons by Michele Beevors. Striking and ethereal, Anatomy Lessons features life-sized skeletons meticulously sculpted and hand-knitted to haunting effect, inviting us to reflect on our place within the fragile web of life and death. It is a quiet, tactile protest – a gentle but powerful call to recognise the violence humans inflict upon other animals, and to reconsider the patterns of behaviour that sustain it.
Gallery closed Christmas Day. Extended hours in Jan, 2026 10.00 to 5.00pm.
