MAKE THE MOST OF THIS UNIQUE VENUEThe Justice & Police Museum houses the Water Police Station, Water Police Court and Police Court that once made up one of the city’s busiest legal hubs. Crooks and cops, thugs and judges, locals and drifters – the guilty and the innocent have all left their stories here.Give your guests a fascinating behind-the-scenes perspective with a specialised curator-led tour – don’t miss the museum’s extraordinary collection of police forensic photography, dating from 1912 to 1948, in the City of Shadows exhibition. We can also arrange special viewings of the museum’s private collection, which contains forensic evidence from some of the state’s most infamous crimes, including the Pyjama Girl murder, and weapons and other items alleged to have belonged to bushrangers such as Ben Hall, Thunderbolt, the Kelly gang, the Clarke gang and Frank Gardiner. A plaster death mask of Andrew George Scott, alias Captain Moonlite, made shortly after his execution, has particular resonance as he is known to have spent time in the Water Police Station.Please speak to our Venue Services team for more details.
