About Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum

The Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum is situated in Hobart. This is a replica of the historic huts in Cape Denison, Antarctica – constructed in 1911 by the men of the Australian Antarctic Expedition, led by Dr Douglas Mawson.  

 

Constructed by heritage architects and builders, the replica was only made possible by a federal government grant and the generosity of many Tasmanian businesses and individuals who donated time, goods and goodwill. As a part of the Mawson’s Huts Foundation, all profits are toward the conservation of the historic huts.
