SYDNEY OPEN CELEBRATES CITY'S ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY

Hyde Park Barracks
More than 50 of Sydney’s most historic and architecturally inspired buildings will be open to the public at the biennial Sydney Open.

Presented by Sydney Living Museums, Sydney Open offers behind-the-scenes access to award winning contemporary buildings and places of historic and modern architectural importance.

Mark Goggin, Director of Sydney Living Museums said, “Sydney Open is a celebration of Sydney’s architectural history, showcasing our urban design and contemporary architecture.”

“Sydney Open creates awareness of the buildings that surround our everyday lives, enabling locals to engage with the city’s built environment and explore buildings that they may not usually have the chance to enter,” he said.

In addition to individual tickets, a Sydney Open City Pass will be on sale offering access to all Sydney Living Museums from the art deco facade of BMA House, to the colonial architecture lining Macquarie Street – Greenway’s Hyde Park Barracks and St James’ Church, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Government House.

Sydney Open will be held on 2 November. For more information go to slm.is/open
