Justice & Police Museum
JUSTICE & POLICE MUSEUM - A WORLD OF POLICE, LAW AND CRIME
Here you can see Captain Moonlite's death mask, Ben Hall's pistol or learn about Constable Walker's duel to the death with the legendary Thunderbolt. Or, you can inspect forensic evidence from notorious crimes such as the Pyjama Girl Murder.
The Justice & Police Museum was originally the Water Police Court (1856), Water Police Station (1858) and the Police Court (1885). Restored to its 1899 character the building's heavy blocks of sandstone, spiked gates, winding steps and a corridor of cells reinforce the Museum's themes of crime and punishment; law and order.
The Justice & Police Museum features a Magistrate's court where booked groups can participate in mock trials; a recreated police charge room and remand cell where visitors can experience the lives of both police and prisoners; a gallery of mug shots of Sydney's early criminals and an array of spine chilling weapons.
The lively programme of changing exhibitions at the Justice & Police Museum features the collection of weird and wonderful memorabilia and relics from notorious and sensational crimes of Australia's judicial system.
There is a small shop attached to the Museum specialising in books on Australian crime, bushrangers, the justice system and books and merchandise appropriate to the current exhibition.
