Eric Thomas Galley Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:29:55

This museum started life as the Imperial Hotel in 1898 and now houses an extensive photographic collection, with wonderfully idiosyncratic captions, showing the people and places of Tasmania’s west coast, including an exposé of the 1912 Mt Lyell mining disaster, which claimed 42 lives. There’s also a clutter of old memorabilia, household items, and clothing, right down to grandma’s undies!
