Thinking about taking a trip to Australia’s biggest city? There are tons of things to do in Sydney, a city that is world-renowned for its selection of cultural attractions. One of the things that Sydney does especially well is museums.
If you find yourself in Sydney, here are three museums that you absolutely must check out.
Art Gallery of New South Wales
The Art Gallery is an absolute must-visit while in Sydney. Consisting of Australian, European, and Asian art, admission is free to the general exhibition galleries at this fantastic museum, which dates back to 1871.
Hyde Park Barracks Museum
Looking to learn a little more about Australia’s sordid history as a penal colony? Be sure to add the Hyde Park Barracks Museum to your list. Here, you’ll visit what was once a complex used to house convicts and learn about how British prisoners used to be sent to Australia.
Australian Museum
The Australian Museum will open back up in the winter of 2020 after closing for renovations, which means that you’ll have to wait to see this space, which focuses on natural history and anthropology. You can see all kinds of exhibitions related to the history of Australia and other places on Earth.
