The Tasmanian Tiger Exhibition situated at Cradle Mountain, presents a remarkable collection of artefacts. These include photographs and film, including the only footage in existence of the last Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus) in captivity, a skeleton, a unique rug made of Tasmanian tiger skins and a faithful reconstruction of a trapper's hut. This joint initiative between the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and The Wilderness Gallery, tells the intriguing story of the Tasmanian tiger and explores how changing lifestyles and attitudes to conservation have altered the ways we view our natural and cultural heritage. The Tasmanian Tiger Exhibition is open daily at The Wilderness Gallery from 1000 until 1700, and is free to visit if you stay at Cradle Mountain Chateau.
