Moving Mountains: legacy landscapes within West Coast Tasmania, by Tom Polacheck.

Seen from above, the human-crafted landscapes of Tasmania's West Coast become something unexpected: abstract, beautiful, unsettling and almost impossible to identify.

Our 2026 exhibition lineup continues!

You're warmly invited to the opening of Ridge Line by Herbert Herring.

Herbert reflects on the rugged character of Tasmania’s West Coast. His paintings trace the sweeping forms of mountain ridges shaped by ancient geological forces, while pen-and-ink drawings explore the details of the forest.

The exhibition continues until 15 May 2026.

Walk to the West is open today 10am–3pm at Soggy Brolly and 9am–5pm at the Galley Museum. See you soon!

26/02/2026

Soggy Brolly and The Galley Museum have partnered with The Royal Society of Tasmania to present Walk to the West – an exhibition of rarely seen nineteenth-century West Coast wilderness art as part of the RST Hidden Treasures Art series.

In 1887, artist W.C. Piguenit joined a government survey party on a demanding trek from Lake St Clair to Macquarie Harbour. The wild rivers, rugged peaks and button grass plains they crossed inspired some of his most dramatic sketches and later studio paintings. Walk to the West features high-quality reproductions from this journey, shown alongside works by fellow nineteenth-century artists Simpkinson de Wesselow and Louisa Anne Meredith.

You are warmly invited to the official opening:
🥂 Friday 6 March 2026
🕔 5pm–7pm
💧 Soggy Brolly, 20 Orr Street Queenstown

The exhibition continues until 10 April at Soggy Brolly (open 10am–3pm on Sat 7 March then weekdays 9.30am–5.30pm or by appointment) and The Galley Museum (open every day).

Proudly supported by AusIMM Tasmania Branch. Featured artwork: The Frenchman’s Cap by W.C. Piguenit.

25/01/2026

Our undeniably local 2026 solo exhibition lineup begins with “A New Morning” by photographer Frankie Munro.

“After my first winter on the West Coast, my lens is no longer that of a tourist, but it still lacks the deeper understanding of those who have been here for generations. These photographs explore a region where time isn’t linear, telling stories of trauma, survival and healing in a place that refuses to surrender.”

Join us on opening night:
🥂 Friday 6 February 2026
🕔 5–7pm
💧 Soggy Brolly, 20 Orr Street, Queenstown

Exhibition continues until 27 February 2026.
