To one of the most important buildings in Sydney, a building that has seen the citys journey from the depths of convict settlement to the heights of this marvellous metropolitan city, the
Hyde Park
Barracks. Built in 1819 to accommodate convict men and boys, this building is one of the most important remnants of Australian history. The museum is effectively a museum about itself! Visitors can find this great building at the north end of
Hyde Park
, on Macquarie Street, and be immersed in the lives of the early convicts and how they suffered in their hapless living conditions. The museum also stores documents, memoir and other links to the past that will surely engulf visitors in the history of the past centuries.
A historic monument that is also very significant to the Irish community as it is a symbol of the Great Irish Famine, and is a meeting place for most Irish living in the area today. Located in Sydneys
CBD
, the
Hyde Park
Barracks is central to all the citys great attractions, such as
Hyde Park
, the
Art Gallery of NSW
,
Pitt Street Mall
and Circular Quay.
