Lady Franklin Gallery
In Lenah Valley, is the Lady Franklin Gallery, named after the art-loving wife of Governor Sir John Franklin, who took a major part in the planning of Australia's first public museum. But the gallery, built in 1843 in the style of a Greek temple, did not live up to its founders' expectations. The collections were neglected and the building was used for many years as a warehouse, until in 1936 the Arts Society of Tasmania took it over and restored it to its original function.

Penitentiary Chapel (Criminal Courts)
The former Penitentiary, with a chapel built by John Lee Archer in 1831, is now thoroughly restored. Few Georgian church buildings are as well preserved as this little chapel. In 1860 two wings of the Penitentiary were converted into the criminal courts, and still used until 1983. There are conducted tours of the cell blocks and the execution court.
