The Museum of Sydney

The Museum of Sydney is located at the corner of Bridge Street and Philip Streets, Sydney - right in the heart of the Financial District or CBD. That same corner is also the site of the first Government House (the British Governor's official residence) built in 1788 by Governor Arthur Philip during the early days of British Convict settlement.

Archaeologists unearthed the original footings of the Governor's house In 1983, which had lain preserved since it was demolished in 1846. These remains are a key feature at the Museum of Sydney.

The Museum of Sydney offers its visitors 'A journey of discovery and wonder through Sydney 1788 and beyond'.

Museum of Sydney has fascinating exhibitions, films and state-of-the-art technology to bring to life stories of colonial life, Aboriginal culture, environment, trade, law and order, and everyday dramas and dreams.

Guided tours of the Museum of Sydney are available on request. For groups, please contact the Museum of Sydney to book a tour.
