Temporary exhibitions on particular themes are regularly staged in the entry/reception building.

Current temporary exhibition – March to June 2025:

“Bass Strait: Above, Below, and In-Between”

This exhibition is a collaboration between eight museums located along the northern coast of Tasmania and Bass Strait. It came together as a travelling exhibition to tell stories about the relationship that coastal and island communities have with Bass Strait. The stories in the exhibition range from aviation to maritime history, family history, communications, shipwrecks and natural history.

The Furneaux Museum acknowledges the generous support of Sharp Airlines in transporting the exhibition from King Island to Flinders Island.
