The Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney is the UNESCO World Heritage listed former barracks, hospital, convict accommodation, mint and courthouse and now museum and cafe located at Macquarie Street in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of NSW, Australia. Originally constructed between 1817 and 1819 as a brick building and compound to house convict men and boys, it was designed by convict architect Francis Greenway. It is also known as the Mint Building and Hyde Park Barracks Group and Rum Hospital; Royal Mint - Sydney Branch; Sydney Infirmary and Dispensary; Queen's Square Courts; Queen's Square. The Hyde Park Barracks is a must-visit destination for all ages. A site of exceptional significance, this fascinating building holds the key to understanding Australia's convict foundations and its impact on Aboriginal Australia, and early contribution to immigration and institutional care. Today, the barracks provide an extraordinary new way to experience history. The museum redefines the heritage experience, bringing Sydney's past to life more authentically than ever before. It's also the chance to discover one of Australia's most important archaeological collections. Displaying over 4, 000 original artefacts, the barracks is a direct link to items worn, touched and treasured by past residents - including an intact convict shirt and leather shoe. A rare opportunity to get up close and personal with Australia's past.
