Explore Sydney's Past and Present

If you want to understand Sydney's past and present, this treasure museum is a must-see! This time capsule hidden in Circular Quay allows you to travel through 200 years of Sydney's memories in one step! The predecessor of the museum was the site of the first Governor's House in Australia. The modern architecture and historical sites collide perfectly. The "Edge of the Trees" sculpture column forest in front of the door is very photogenic. The 29 columns intertwined with sandstone, wood, and steel are engraved with the names of Aboriginal tribes. Walking through it will trigger mysterious indigenous language sound effects, as if you can hear the whispers of ancient civilizations. ⚠️ Please note: This is the Museum of Sydney near Circular Quay, not the Australian Museum. The two are not very far apart, but it is easy to confuse them. We made a mistake when navigating, which led to this visit! 🏔Attraction introduction: This place mainly presents delicate historical changes and some small-scale Aboriginal art exhibitions. There is also a small parent-child interactive graffiti area where parents can let go for a while [applause]. There are also special handmade products and a machine for making landmark copper coins at the door for children to experience (AUD 2 each). 📝Check-in guide: This museum is free and does not require reservations. It takes 1–2 hours to walk around the whole place. It is recommended to visit Circular Quay, the Royal Botanic Garden, etc. together, all of which are within a 5–10 minute walk.
