Located on the site of Australia's first Government House, the Museum of Sydney deliberately looks towards the future rather than the past. The building itself was demolished in 1846 but in 1983, archaeologists unearthed the original footings. The Museum's interpretation is highly imaginative and offers the visitor a journey of discovery through Sydney from 1788. This is achieved by a mixture of static displays, state of the art technology and an acclaimed temporary exhibition programme. The shop and café are also very stylish.
