"UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks Museum is one of Australia’s most significant convict sites, housing some 50,000 British-transplant convicts between 1819 and 1848. The building, restored and transformed into a museum in 1979, offers a moving look at convict life. Visual displays of artifacts, such as convict carpentry tools, are mixed with audio installations and interactive experiences. For example, you can lie in a convict hammock in the cramped dormitory, try on leg irons and convict clothes, or search a database for stories of inmates." - Sophie Davies
