Members Hour: Hyde Park Barracks
Welcome to Members Hour at the Hyde Park Barracks.
A UNESCO World Heritage–listed site in the heart of contemporary Sydney, the Barracks is an extraordinary record of the living legacy of colonial Australia. Built to house convicts, it also later served as a women’s immigration depot and asylum, and then as law courts and government offices.
Our museum expert Scott Cumming will lead you through this fascinating and complex site. You are also welcome to explore the property at your leisure, before it opens to the public.
