Why go

The furnished interiors bring the public role of the residence down to the scale of individual rooms. Outside, its position beside today's university and the City Botanic Gardens helps situate the old government precinct in the current city. A visit works especially well alongside a Gardens Point walk rather than as a remote museum detour.

  • Furnished period rooms
  • Gardens Point campus setting
