Calendar
Designed by one of Sydney’s best-known architects, Richard Johnson of Denton Corker Marshall, this modern museum sits on one of the city’s oldest and most interesting sites. Here in 1788 one of Australia’s first permanent buildings was erected: a home and office for the colony’s Governor, Arthur Phillip. First contact between the European newcomers and Aboriginal people of this land also took place right here.
At the Museum of Sydney you will meet our city’s first people, inspect models of the First Fleet ships and peer into the archaeological remains of the First Government House and the intriguing objects found onsite.
Fast forward through 200 years and you will learn about the distinctiveness of this great city, its harbour, transport, people and particular personality via a changing exhibitions program.
