The Museum of Sydney was designed by one of Sydney’s best-known architects, Richard Johnson of Denton Corker Marshall.  This modern museum is housed on one of Australia's most important sites. Here, in 1788,  Australia’s first Government House was built as a home and office for the colony’s Governor, Arthur Phillip.  In the museum forecourt, known as First Government House Place, you will find the remaining foundations of the house below, while aboveground you will admire the extraordinary art installation Edge of the Trees, which marks the site of first contact between the British colonisers and the Gadigal people.
