Fittingly, the Justice & Police Museum has been a Water Police Court (1856), Water Police Station (1858) and plain old Police Court (1886). Death masks of some of Australia’s more infamous crims are on display, as well as mugshots, assorted deadly weapons and newspaper reports of sensational wrongdoings. Also on view is a recreated 1890s police charge room, a dark and damp remand cell, and a restored Court of Petty Sessions with its notorious communal dock, which could hold up to 15 prisoners at a time.
Sat–Sun 10am-5pm. Adult $10; child & concs $5; family $20. Credit (over $10) MC, V.
The Justice & Police Museum is open daily 9.30am-5pm.
Police Museum was interesting but ASIO collection and display appeared very 1 sided suggesting that this organisation has done nothing useful and is a threat to all Australians. Very juvenile approach lacking any depth sadly - perhaps it is time to review it
