Justice and Police Museum, Police museum in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
The Justice and Police Museum occupies former police station buildings constructed between 1854 and 1886, featuring sandstone architecture and colonial design elements.
The complex served as the Water Police headquarters during a period when Sydney Harbour's waterfront required constant law enforcement due to maritime criminal activities.
The museum maintains the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive, documenting criminal investigations and social changes through historical photographs and evidence collections.
Visitors can explore the museum on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with wheelchair accessibility and educational programs for school groups.
The exhibition includes specialized displays of modified everyday objects that criminals used as weapons, revealing the ingenuity of Sydney's historical underworld.
