One of promintent historic buildings in Sydney. It once provided dwelling place for the English inmates that worked for government in Sydney which had accomodated more than 10,000 inmates since 1819 until it was closed in 1848. It also a main witness of mass arrival of female asylum seekers from Irish to Sydney, which was first started in 1848. A visit to this museum would enrich our knowledge about the inmates, especially about their way of life and the influence of their existance to Australia and also the reasons of sending the asylum seekers to Australia.

    Was not expecting much from a free museum tour but was very pleasantly surprised and impressed by the 3 floors of exhibits. The location sensor based audio tour was informative and interactive. My favorite was the huge mural that came to life based on your proximity. my favorite

    The Chenlan cabinet here shows the history of the first prisoners transferred to the Hyde Park Camp area in May 1819. Originally, it was home to 600 people, and the camp now displays the sleeping arrangements of the time two rows of hammocks in each room that can take you through the ordinary day in which prisoners live and let you feel the rules and regulations they must abide by. It’s a fun place, but one visit is enough.

    The museum experience was fantastic. There are many different kinds of exhibitions, interactive and informative. This place is an early example of Europe and Australia, showing not only human stories but also relevant scientific and archaeological processes in history. It's worth seeing.

    Hyde Park Barracks Museum is located in Hyde Park, Sydney, where many Australian barracks are exhibited in terms of equipment, life, training and so on. The country is very belligerent, so this kind of war museum is everywhere, and some of them are flooded. There's one thing I think is a little out of harmony in such a beautiful place as Hyde Park.

    Hyde Park Barracks is a rare world cultural heritage in Australia and a place to review and witness Australia's development history. Over the past 200 years, the barracks have undergone several stages, including prison shelters, immigrant residences and courts. It's on Macaulay Street, north of Hyde Park. Walking or bus is available. Tickets for the elderly are A$5. From the third floor of the museum, we can see the life segments of the prisoners, such as the beds, tools of production, the main plots and sentences of the crimes, and the real life portraits of the Irish female immigrants. Australia is a modern country developed through prisoner exile and immigration. The Barracks Museum is an activity history textbook.
