"This intimate museum in The Rocks, Sydney’s oldest neighborhood, explores the city’s working-class heritage. Occupying a row of four worn brick terrace houses, built by Irish immigrants in 1844, the museum offers a peek into the lives of more than a hundred families that called Susannah Place home from 1844 to 1990. The small houses—with their tiny backyards, basement kitchens, and outside wash houses—survived plagues, demolitions, and redevelopments. Against a backdrop of recreated interiors, you’ll discover the real stories of those who lived, worked, and played here, like opening a family album." - Sophie Davies
