This UNESCO World Heritage-listed museum tells the story of Australia’s convict beginnings and its powerful imprint on Indigenous Australia. Cutting-edge visual and audio technology allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of some of the 500,000 British convicts who were held here. The innovative methods of telling their tales are almost as incredible as the historical facts.
