Designed by convict architect Francis Greenway, the Hyde Park Barracks was home to convict men and a place of punishment between 1819 and 1848. Later it became an Immigration Depot for young girls and a Government Asylum for women. The Greenway Gallery, housed in the barracks, presents a lively program of temporary exhibitions about Australian history, ideas and culture.
Located at Queens Square, Macquarie Street, the Hyde Park Barracks is open 9:30am-5:00pm daily except for Good Friday and Christmas Day.
