陌染MMTraveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Walking around the city center, came to this museum, which is opposite the City Hall, near the pier, there is a parking lot at the door, parking is very convenient, but there is a charge. The museum is free to visit. When you enter, there are some open-air art-shaped seats on the right, you can take a break. The front left is the locker area. All guests who come in to visit need to put their belongings in the locker. You need to prepare a 2 yuan Australian dollar coin. Open any empty cabinet, there is a small slot in the cabinet door, you can plug coins, only can put just 2 yuan size coins, and then close the cabinet door and unplug the key. When you need to advance items, plug the key in, twist the door open, The coins will be automatically spit out for you. This museum has several partitions, including the history and culture museum of the aboriginal people, the animal specimen museum, and the exquisite collection museum, art museum, cafe, rest hall and other parts. I only visited the animal specimen museum due to time problems and learned about it in Australia. Even Tasmanian-specific animals, of course, are specimens, such as the now extinct swolves, Tasmanian tigers, Tasmanian devils, various sizes of kangaroos, birds, and so on. The decoration of the zoological specimen museum is very simple, or it is deliberately made into a primitive decoration, it feels like returning to the primitive society. The lighting in the lounge is dim, but there is a kind of English-style decoration. There are always clear instructions along the road. You can look at the signs to find your favorite museum.
