The Rocks Discovery Museum

The Rocks Discovery Museum is a free, family-friendly museum that tells the story of The Rocks from pre-European days to the present. The museum is housed in a restored 1850s sandstone warehouse and features a unique collection of images and archaeological artefacts found in The Rocks. The exhibits are highly interactive, using touch screens, audio, and visual elements to bring the history of the area alive. Visitors can learn about the area's traditional landowners, the establishment of the English colony, and the time when sailors, whalers, and traders made the area their home. The museum also covers the 1970s union-led protests that preserved this unique part of Sydney for future generations to explore and enjoy. With four permanent exhibitions, the museum is a great place for families to visit and learn about the history of The Rocks
