Justice & Police Museum in Sydney

在往Circular Quay的途中,被一棟爬有搶匪壞蛋的房子吸引.它是雪梨司法警察博物館!裡頭完整介紹,二十世紀雪梨司法與警察史.
The Justice & Police Museum was originally the Water Police Court (1856), Water Police Station (1858) and Police Court (1886). Restored to their 1890s character, the building's heavy blocks of sandstone, spiked gates, winding steps and corridor of cells reinforce the Museum's themes of crime and punishment and law and order.
The Justice & Police Museum features a magistrates court, a recreated police charge room and remand cells, a gallery of mug shots of Sydney's early criminals and an array of spine chilling weapons. It also showcases weird and wonderful relics from notorious crimes such as the Pyjama Girl Case and the Graeme Thorne Kidnapping, as well as many original objects associated with such legendary bushrangers as Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall and Captain Moonlight.
