Open House Hobart

On Saturday 22 November, Open House Hobart invites you to be a tourist in your own city. Get out your camera and photograph the buildings and spaces you walk past every day; take a peek at how others live, work and play; and see how the city’s infrastructure works. Look up, look inside, climb a belltower or a rubber tree, and take in the incredible views from different vantage points around town.
Some buildings require registration to visit and are limited by capacity. In true Tassie style, it’s first in best dressed! So be sure to reserve your place – just follow the links where required.
You won’t get to see all the buildings in this year’s program, but there is a prize for the most-organised person who visits the most buildings by bus, bike or boot (no cars allowed).
While you make your way around the city, please share your snaps with the world by using the hashtags #oh_hobart and #discovertasmania and you’ll go in the running to win some great Tasmanian loot.
To get the most out of Open House, we recommend you pick a variety of buildings to visit on the day. That way you can get a broader picture of how the city works. Try visiting a suburb you rarely go to or a building you find ugly: maybe your impression will change by learning more about it, maybe it’ll just reinforce what you already think! Either way, Open House Hobart will help you understand how the city has been shaped and re-shaped over the last 200 years.
Go on, take a look – you’re gonna love it!
