This museum is a little gem, particularly good for kids, but not too young--some of the exhibits are quite gory! Housed in a sandstone building that has been the Water Police Court (1856), the Water Police Station (1858) and finally the Police Court (1885), it provides a great opportunity to learn about Sydney's colourful criminal past. It features a magistrate's court, charge room, remand cell, and a selection of mind-bogglingly nasty weapons ... spiked metal balls and chains, daggers, clubs and knuckledusters. Group bookings are available.
