History Museum Attractions In Sydney

  • 1. Justice & Police Museum Sydney
    The Justice and Police Museum is a justice and police museum located on the corner of Albert and Phillip Streets in the Sydney central business district, New South Wales, Australia. On 2 April 1999 the museum was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register with the following statement of significance: The buildings symbolically represent power and privilege. Architecturally and culturally they evoke a system of social control and relate to a specific power relationship. The site's proximity to the waters of Sydney Cove; its close and long continuing association with the colony and its classical architectural syntax and indeed, endearingly human scale, provides an important foil to multistoreyed buildings and Circular Quay.
