The Rocks Discovery Museum, housed in a restored 1850s sandstone warehouse, tells the story of The Rocks from pre-European days to the present.

Home to a unique collection of images and archaeological artefacts found in The Rocks, the exhibits are highly interactive; using touch screens, audio and visual elements to bring the history of the area alive.

Learn about the area's traditional landowners, the establishment of the English colony and the time when sailors, whalers and traders made the area their home; through to the 1970s union-led protests which preserved this unique part of Sydney for future generations to explore and enjoy.

Entry is free.
Open 10am – 5pm daily.
Closed Good Friday and Christmas Day.

The Rocks Discovery Dig Game Become an archaeologist and uncover the artefacts of The Rocks! Collect buried objects before your time runs out. The quicker you finish the more points you score, but be careful, collecting rocks will slow you down! You can use your points to buy more time, faster boots or stronger rope. Visit the artefact cabinet and find out more about the items with real life archeologist, Dr Wayne Johnson.
