Went here at night when Vivid Sydney lights up the area. June is a good time to go even though it is cold at night. The lights along the Nurses Walk were fabulous. Narrow alleys had interesting shadow lighting. Possibly it's normally best to go during the daytime as it is the safest time to visit. It is in the... More

This is a very unique and enjoyable excursion. Instead of capturing a frozen moment in time, this museum is cleverly designed to take you on a journey through time, starting in the 1800's right through to the 1970's (when the houses were last inhabited).
