    Very small. Don’t expect too much of it.

    オーストラリア博物館と間違えてきてしまった。かなり小規模でびっくり。日本語ガイダンスもなかったようで英語わからないと内容も分かりません。

    Small museum but a great way to get the lay of the land on Sydney's history.

    If you're visiting the Towers Lego exhibition make sure you sit down and watch the documentary with the guy who built them.

    History of the early colonists and the indigenous people interesting. Not much to see here, but it's worth visiting as one of a number if city museums.

    Must do the guided tour! With Julia preferably. You gain so much more out of it!

    Nice little museum will give good overview of complex history of this complex city. Currently good (if heartbreaking) exhibition on trams.

    Cafe/Museum food is average and not worth the price. Asked for medium and got rare lamb. Friendly and efficient staff.

    Taking the highlights tour is a good way to get an overview of the small but interesting museum. I think this is also a good intro to Sydney when you 1st arrived.
