Architect: Public Works Department /John F. D. Scarborough and Associates (1960, 1972)

The façade of the State Library of Tasmania (now Libraries Tasmania) is the earliest example of a Modernist glass curtain wall in Hobart, with sleek mid-century details throughout. Come and explore The Allport Library and Museum of Fine Arts which features nationally significant Tasmanian colonial art, books, and objects.

Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders - past, present and emerging.
