Hyde Park Barracks Museum

$$
Known forhistoricsignificantatmosphericcentral
A UNESCO World Heritage-listed convict barracks designed by Francis Greenway, now a museum exploring the lives of convicts, immigrants, and the women who passed through its walls. The archaeological finds embedded in the building itself — including thousands of rat-cached objects — are extraordinary. The building is beautiful but the exhibitions can feel dense, so take your time.
