Heritage & Culture

Tasmanian stories live and breathe in our historic sites, arts and culture.

Tasmania has a strong and lively arts and culture scene. The more relaxed pace of life, lack of pretension, and energetic and connected art scene has attracted writers, artists and performers. While we may have less than three per cent of Australia's population, we are home to nine per cent of its artists.

Our culture is enriched by our Aboriginal heritage and European, Asian and African immigrants.
