Here are the best things to do in Hobart when it&#8217;s raining.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"MONA\">MONA<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nWhere do you seek refuge when it\u2019s raining buckets? How about a subterranean museum and art gallery with enough eye-popping exhibits to see you comfortably ride out a lengthy one-in-100-year storm? The Museum of Old and New Art is Australia\u2019s largest private museum and houses one of the world\u2019s most confronting and controversial art collections, entombed within an underground gallery on an escarpment overlooking the Derwent River, just north of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/2172\/hobart\">Hobart<\/a>. There\u2019s a chocolate sculpture of the remains of a Chechen suicide bomber, and a giant machine that mimics the human digestive tract (grab a map to avoid exhibits inappropriate for children). Afterwards you can debrief with a glass of wine and a meal at the onsite restaurant and winery or enjoy a beer and tour of the micro brewery.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\n<a name=\"Tasmanian_Museum\">Tasmanian Museum<\/a> and Art Gallery\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nFor a more conventional museum experience that\u2019s guaranteed to be more palatable for the kids, head to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery on Hobart\u2019s historic waterfront. Fresh from a $30 million redevelopment, Australia\u2019s second-oldest museum takes visitors on a journey from ancient times to the modern day, taking in colonial art, contemporary culture, politics and social change. See artefacts that have been hidden from the public eye for more than 150 years, come face to face with an extinct Tasmanian Tiger and be transported to the frozen continent of Antarctica.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\n<a name=\"Cascade_Brewery\">Cascade Brewery<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/4oy8l4rV65A8kZ0lN2impg\/d57987dee2d340116cbae2e56952242a\/things_to_do_in_hobart_raining_-_Cascade_Brewery_-_Photo_by_Siggy_Nowak_-_Stayz.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in hobart raining - Cascade Brewery - Photo by Siggy Nowak\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nFoul weather is enough to make some hit the bottle, but at Cascade Brewery you can enjoy a more refined beer-drinking experience, with a history lesson to boot. Australia\u2019s oldest brewery, Cascade occupies an imposing building on the banks of the Hobart Rivulet overlooking 1.2 hectares of heritage gardens. Discover the history of the company (established in 1824), hear the beer makers\u2019 tales, and learn about the brewing process as you climb a labyrinth of stairs. Afterwards enjoy the fruits of the brewers\u2019 labours with tastings fresh from the keg, and enjoy a meal in the cafe overlooking the gardens.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\n<a name=\"Cadbury_Chocolate_Factory\">Cadbury Chocolate Factory<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nNothing provides comfort on a gloomy day quite like chocolate, and at the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in nearby Claremont there\u2019s lots to go around. Follow your nose 14 kilometres north of Hobart\u2019s CBD and learn about the chocolate making process at the Tasmanian home of one of the world\u2019s best-known confectionery brands. Taste test raw ingredients, watch an audio-visual presentation, enjoy free samples, and pick up some take-home treats at the retail shop. The factory may not look like much from the outside, but inside those walls is pure chocolatey-goodness!\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\n<a name=\"Penitentiary_Chapel\">Penitentiary Chapel<\/a> Historic Site\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nSee where wayward convicts met a grisly end at the haunting Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site. The 1830s chapel housed 36 solitary confinement cells beneath the floor, and served as the Hobart Town Gaol for more than a century. Wander through the tunnels, two Supreme Court rooms and cells where 50,000 convicts passed through, and see the execution yard and gallows. For a spine-tingling experience join a night ghost tour and explore the grounds by lamplight, hearing tales of paranormal activities, murder trials and chilling executions.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rain is what makes Tasmania so beautiful, but if you\u2019re caught out in bad weather, don\u2019t despair, there are plenty of
