The Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum is  an exact copy of the historic huts at Cape Denison, East Antarctica, which were used as the main base for two years by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) of 1911-14 led by Australia's great Polar explorer Dr Douglas Mawson. Located on the Hobart water front just 150 metres from where Mawson's expedition departed on December 2 1911, the Musuem is rated on www.tripadvisor as the No 1 Museum in the city. It is also rated as one of the top 10 "Things To DO" in the  Tasmanian capital. Built and operated by Mawson's Huts Foundation, a not for profit charity established in 1997 expressly to conserve the fragile buildings that Mawson and his men occupied for two years, the Replica Museum helps to raise funds for the ongoing of the Cape Denison site. It is open 7 days a week
