Members Hour: Justice & Police Museum
Welcome to Members Hour at the Justice & Police Museum.
In this Members Hour, you will experience the newly reopened of Crime Museum within the Justice & Police Museum, with a special members-only talk led by MHNSW 3D Designer Dean Scott.
With more access to the experts, Dean will talk through the recent Crime Museum project and its design process – from brief, design concept and design development to site preparation and security enhancements. He will discuss the preparation of objects and the challenges along the way.
You will also hear from our museum expert about the cunning weapons from the Justice and Police Museum 1910 Collection and history of the NSW Police mugshot photography, also known as ‘Specials’, unique to Sydney in the 1920s on display.
Members get 10% off retail plus dining at This Way Canteen, located at the Museum of Sydney.
Bookings essential.
