Combining tradition with ground breaking audio technology, visitors will not only follow in the footsteps of real people who encountered the Barracks – they will relive it.
The renewed Hyde Park Barracks tells the stories of all those who were affected by the site; convicts, immigrants, destitute women and the impact on Aboriginal communities.
The reopening coincides with the launch of Jonathan Jones’ untitled (maraong manaóuwi) art installation.
It features 2,000 maraong manaóuwi (emu footprint)/broad arrow designs created with red and white gravel sourced from Wiradjuri Country, covering the entire 2,500 square metres of Hyde Park Barracks courtyard.
The installation is presented by Sydney Living Museums and City of Sydney as part of the Art & About program.
