"Stepping inside Sydney’s oldest public building, once part of the notorious "Rum Hospital" and later home to the Royal Mint, is like time-traveling into the past. The colonial structure, built in 1816, was boldly converted in 2003, showcasing heritage architecture in a contemporary setting. The free, compact museum occupies a prime spot on prestigious Macquarie Street, beside the Parliament of New South Wales. You’ll find tourists, architecture fans, and interiors aficionados checking out the historic site and design archive." - Sophie Davies
