Justice & Police Museum

First published on . Updated on 4 Jan 2012.

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.
