What to expect

The Justice and Police Museum is a great place to explore the 'dark side' of Sydney's past, with tales of crime, punishment, and policing. The museum features an 1890s holding cell, offices, charge room, and courts, showcasing a world of crime and lawlessness. A vast archive of crime scene photography and mug shots reveals over a century of underworld Sydney. The museum offers wheelchair access and assistance for visitors with disabilities. Families can enjoy guided tours and interactive exhibits, although some displays may contain confronting content not suitable for children under 16. The museum shop is also available for visitors to explore
