Use a handheld touch-screen device while you're exploring the collection to learn more about the exhibits and record your own impressions and reactions, if you wish.To refuel with a drink or bite to eat, you may head to the onsite restaurant, cafe or wine bar, with its tasting room that features regional wines (own expense). Then leave the museum to return to central Hobart by coach.
