Located on the waterfront in Darling Harbour, the National Maritime Museum offers a unique indoor/outdoor experience for visitors. The wharves are home to a fleet of beautifully-restored heritage vessels including the tall ship HMB Endeavour, navy vessels and the Cape Bowling Green Light House. Inside the architecturally-designed building are exhibitions and galleries that tell stories of the sea from a European, Migrant and Indigenous-Australian perspective. The museum also boasts 11 stunning venue spaces – many of which have spectacular water and city-skyline views.
COVIDSAFE PROCEDURES
Face masks are mandatory at all Sydney Festival events for all patrons 13 years and older, in line with NSW Government regulations. A face mask is required at all times while inside foyers, theatres and outdoor venues, including during performances. Children 12 and under are exempt but are encouraged to wear masks where practicable.
The health and wellbeing of visitors to the museum is our highest priority and we need your help to contain the spread of COVID-19.
